Manchester City Sign Antoine Semenyo From Bournemouth in £62.5m Transfer

The £62.5m agreement, including add-ons, was sealed during a brief January release-clause window.

Overview

  • City’s deal is reported at £62.5m with up to £1.5m in bonuses after Bournemouth accepted a fee slightly above the £60m clause.
  • Semenyo, 26, has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract to join Pep Guardiola’s squad.
  • The move represents a club-record sale for Bournemouth, with Bristol City due a sell-on payment that outlets report as either 10% or 20% of profit.
  • The clause limited formal moves to the opening days of January, and City completed negotiations as rival Premier League clubs were linked but did not secure a bid.
  • UEFA rules allow three new registrations in January, positioning City to add Semenyo for the Champions League knockout phase.
