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.
