£65m January Clause Puts Bournemouth at Risk of Losing Semenyo, Liverpool Show Firm Interest

Liverpool are viewed as firm suitors with the clause set to go live early in January.

Overview

  • The release mechanism is understood to be £60m guaranteed plus £5m in add-ons and activates only in the early days of the January window.
  • Bournemouth sources accept the winger could leave mid-season and say he would not have signed his new deal without this clause.
  • Liverpool have serious interest, with sporting director Richard Hughes previously bringing Semenyo to Bournemouth from Bristol City.
  • Tottenham and Manchester City are monitoring, while Manchester United are seen as unlikely to move now and Newcastle are not currently in the frame; Arsenal are described as well stocked in attack.
  • Semenyo has six goals and three assists this season and is understood to prefer staying in England despite interest from abroad.
