Overview
- Bournemouth executive Tim Bezbatchenko said clubs of Liverpool’s stature are hard to refuse, effectively encouraging a potential approach for winger Antoine Semenyo.
- Semenyo has six goals and three assists in 11 league games, with a release clause believed to exist and a valuation reported around £80m, though Bournemouth’s coach has downplayed exit talk.
- Liverpool are also linked with Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry on a possible free transfer next summer, with Sky Germany reporting interest as Bayern hold talks on an extension.
- Arne Slot retains board support but faces scrutiny after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City left Liverpool eight points off the top, with reports circulating of a contingency shortlist of potential successors.
- Fresh reports suggest talks are in motion over new terms for Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, while a failed move for Marc Guehi has prompted warnings that missing the Champions League could hinder defensive recruitment.
