Overview
- Multiple outlets report a release clause of about £65 million that is only active in the first two weeks of January for the Bournemouth winger.
- Liverpool’s interest was in place months before Mohamed Salah’s recent fallout with Arne Slot, yet the situation is now adding pressure to consider a mid‑season bid.
- Manchester City are described by BBC Sport as showing the most solid rival interest, Tottenham are said to be able to offer the most lucrative personal terms, and Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring the situation.
- Bournemouth are preparing contingencies, with reports linking Ipswich’s Jaden Philogene and FC Basel’s Philip Otele as potential replacements if the clause is triggered.
- Semenyo has six goals and three assists in the league this season and is contracted until 2030, and while Liverpool are thought to be able to afford the fee, no formal bids have been confirmed.
