Manchester City Signs Antoine Semenyo From Bournemouth in £65 Million Deal

City now seeks defensive reinforcements after securing a five-and-a-half-year deal for the in-form forward.

Overview

  • Manchester City completed the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth for a reported £65 million (€75 million) as its first move of the January window.
  • The 26-year-old signed a five-and-a-half-year contract after scoring 10 goals in 20 Premier League matches this season.
  • The move came before a release-clause window near £60 million expired on Friday, a mechanism Bournemouth set to allow time to find a replacement.
  • Semenyo’s final Bournemouth appearance brought a late winner at Tottenham on his 26th birthday, leaving the club to replace its top performer.
  • City continues to target a centre-back due to injuries to John Stones, Rúben Dias and Joško Gvardiol, having already ended Max Alleyne’s loan at Watford.
