Man City in Advanced Talks to Sign Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as January Clause Window Opens

A brief release‑clause window plus the player's preference for City have accelerated talks toward a New Year resolution.

Overview

  • Antoine Semenyo’s representatives are due in Manchester to finalise personal terms, with discussions expected to progress this week.
  • Manchester City are the only club to have made formal contact with Bournemouth and have signalled intent to meet the £65m clause active from Jan 1–10.
  • Semenyo wants his future settled by Jan 1, with meetings scheduled in the next 48 hours to move the deal forward.
  • Bournemouth would prefer to keep the forward for early‑January fixtures, including matches against Arsenal and Tottenham, before sanctioning an exit.
  • Liverpool interest has been reported, but respected sources say no approach has been made to Bournemouth and the player’s preference remains Manchester City.
