Liverpool Lead Race as £65m January Clause Triggers Semenyo Scramble

A brief £65m release window in early January is forcing a decision point on Antoine Semenyo’s future.

Overview

  • Multiple reports place Liverpool at the front of the queue, with TEAMtalk saying Semenyo prefers Anfield, though no agreement has been reached.
  • Bournemouth’s summer extension includes a clause active from January 1–10 at about £65m, with reporting indicating a lower figure in the summer.
  • Bournemouth want the winger to stay through the season and are exploring replacements, but expect a quiet window unless the clause is met.
  • Manchester City, Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are monitoring the situation, and former City adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider that City could choose to trigger the clause.
  • Semenyo has six goals and three assists this season and will be available in January after Ghana missed AFCON, though he has not registered in recent league matches.
