Overview
- City have accelerated talks and are holding meetings with Antoine Semenyo’s representatives within 24–48 hours, according to The Times and BBC reporting.
- Semenyo wants his future resolved by January 1, with a release clause reported at about £65m active only in the first 10 days of the window.
- City are the sole club to make formal contact with Bournemouth so far, while Liverpool retain interest but have not opened negotiations.
- Bournemouth would prefer to keep Semenyo for early January matches against Arsenal and Tottenham, though the player is pushing for a swift move.
- Tottenham were rebuffed this month, with Manchester United and Chelsea monitoring, and Semenyo enters this stretch with nine league goals and full January availability.
