Antoine Semenyo Has £65m January Release Clause as Bournemouth Brace for Bids

The time-limited trigger shifts leverage to bidders by forcing a quick decision in January.

Overview

  • The clause is understood to be £60m plus £5m in add-ons and is only active for a short window in January, with BBC reporting it applies in the first two weeks and Sky reporting the fee reduces in summer 2026.
  • Bournemouth hope to keep the forward but are preparing for offers and are seen as effectively powerless if the clause is met within the activation period.
  • Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham are monitoring the 25-year-old, whose strong campaign has featured six Premier League goals.
  • Semenyo returned early from Ghana duty with an injury that Bournemouth are assessing, with reports differing between a ligament sprain and an ankle issue.
  • Bristol City are due 20% of any profit from a future sale under a sell-on agreement.
