Bookmakers Back Liverpool as £65m Semenyo Clause Focuses January Plans

A time-limited release mechanism has concentrated top-flight interest in Bournemouth’s in-form forward.

Overview

  • Reports say Liverpool are weighing a January move and have held internal discussions with full awareness of a £60m plus £5m add-ons clause, after Semenyo’s return of six goals and three assists.
  • Betting markets now make Liverpool favourites to sign him next, with Bournemouth rated the next most likely destination to retain him beyond January.
  • Manchester United are described as very interested and could offer Semenyo his preferred No. 24 shirt, as Ruben Amorim declines to rule out winter squad changes.
  • Arsenal are monitoring the situation but are unlikely to meet the £65m January price due to squad cost constraints, with multiple outlets noting a lower clause is expected in the summer.
  • Bournemouth are reported to prefer keeping him mid-season, while a former Man City adviser claims the public revelation of the clause details breached contract confidentiality.
