Overview
- Black Knight FC executive Tim Bezbatchenko said Bournemouth would find it hard to refuse elite clubs, a comment framed as encouragement for Liverpool to approach Antoine Semenyo.
- Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are monitoring Semenyo ahead of the winter window, with the winger on six goals and three assists this season; he has not asked to leave despite reports.
- Reports state Semenyo’s deal contains a release clause and Bournemouth value him at roughly £75–80m, though Andoni Iraola downplayed talk over contract details.
- Sky Germany reports Liverpool are exploring a free move for Bayern’s Serge Gnabry when his deal expires next summer, while Bayern continue talks over an extension.
- Arne Slot faces scrutiny after Liverpool slipped to eighth, with UK reports outlining a contingency manager list, and talks are said to be underway to secure new terms for Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai as agents push for improved deals; concerns also persist that rivals could beat Liverpool to free‑agent‑to‑be Marc Guehi.
