Liverpool Hold Talks on Antoine Semenyo as Time-Limited £65m Clause Shapes January Race

A short January activation window for a reported £65m clause has spurred Liverpool to pursue the Bournemouth winger.

Overview

  • Sky’s Florian Plettenberg reports Liverpool are seriously working on a deal, with concrete discussions already held over Antoine Semenyo.
  • David Ornstein says the release clause is £65m and only active for a set period in January before dropping to a lower figure in the summer.
  • Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City are also tracking the 25-year-old, while betting markets currently make Liverpool the favourites.
  • Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola stresses Semenyo is their player for now, with the forward under contract until 2030 after signing a new deal this summer.
  • Semenyo has six goals and three assists this league season and recently missed a game with an ankle issue, as a former Man City adviser criticizes the public leak of his clause details as a confidentiality breach.
