Overview
- The Athletic reports a release clause of £60m plus £5m in add-ons that can be triggered only in the January window.
- Fabrizio Romano says there is a good chance of a January move, estimating the probability at roughly 60–70%.
- Manchester United are widely reported to see a January deal at that price as difficult given recent spending and midfield priorities, despite past interest and a reported Amorim meeting.
- Liverpool and Tottenham are repeatedly linked by multiple outlets, with ex-players urging Liverpool to act and the Mirror adding that Manchester City are currently only monitoring the situation.
- Semenyo’s strong form this season—six goals and three assists in 11 league games—underpins the interest, and one pundit claims the clause may need to be activated in the first two weeks of January.
