Manchester City Complete Antoine Semenyo Signing From Bournemouth

City land the Ghana winger for £62.5m plus add-ons under a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Overview

  • City agreed a reported £62.5m fee with up to £1.5m in add-ons and a 10% sell-on, structured outside the £65m early-January clause and payable over 24 months.
  • Registered as their first January arrival, the 26-year-old is expected to be available for the FA Cup this weekend, with UEFA rules permitting his Champions League knockout registration.
  • Semenyo has 10 Premier League goals and three assists this season, signing off for Bournemouth with a stoppage-time winner in a 3-2 victory over Tottenham.
  • Pep Guardiola said City beat interest from many clubs, with reports naming Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham among the suitors.
  • Bristol City are due a share of Bournemouth’s profit from the sale, while the transfer lifts City’s spending over the past 12 months to roughly £425m-plus.
