Liverpool Consider January Swoop for Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo After Prolific Start

Reports point to a confidential release clause in his new contract that could determine whether a winter transfer is possible.

Overview

  • Liverpool are evaluating a January approach for the 25-year-old winger as they weigh cover and competition on the right with Mohamed Salah out of form and expected to leave for AFCON.
  • Fresh off a new five-year deal, Semenyo has six goals in eight Premier League matches this season, accelerating interest from top clubs.
  • Multiple reports say a release clause was inserted into his Bournemouth contract, though the fee and activation terms are not publicly known, with guidance suggesting it is below £100m and prior summer valuations near £75m.
  • Bournemouth prefer to keep him through the season, with manager Andoni Iraola downplaying contract specifics and emphasizing the player’s form and focus.
  • Manchester United, Tottenham and a number of overseas clubs are tracking Semenyo, who would be available in January as Ghana did not qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.
