Antoine Semenyo Transfer from AFC Bournemouth to Liverpool

According to The Sun, Manchester City have had a successful pursuit of Antoine Semenyo and have overcome interest from Liverpool.

Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Liverpool have made a late attempt to sign Antoine Semenyo, despite a widespread belief that the Bournemouth forward is close to joining Manchester City. Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said he is not certain and has heard there could be an unexpected development, adding that he thinks Liverpool could still be a possibility. The remarks have led to speculation that Liverpool could be considering Semenyo as part of early succession planning for Mohamed Salah. It is not yet known whether Liverpool will formalise their interest.

According to a source, Antoine Semenyo rejected the opportunity to join Liverpool because of salary issues. Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) were not willing to spend a large amount of money in the January transfer window after spending £440m (€505m, $600m) on new players in the summer of 2025. Liverpool would have been open to activating Semenyo’s release clause in the summer of 2026. According to DaveOCKOP, Liverpool were not willing to match the £180,000-a-week salary that Semenyo will get at Man City. The Reds’ interest decreased as they did not want to compete with City, who were offering such a high package to the player. According to journalist Mark Ogden, there is still a chance that Liverpool might attempt to sign the winger.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes held talks with Bournemouth about a possible deal for Antoine Semenyo, whose contract includes a £65million January release clause. Liverpool did not match Manchester City's bid for the forward.

Antoine Semenyo was a player of significant interest to Liverpool, who negotiated with him, but he chose Manchester City.

According to Team Talk, while several outlets suggested Liverpool were ready to make a late bid to sign Antoine Semenyo, the club's interest would only have been activated in the summer window had the player still been available. Liverpool admire Semenyo, and sporting director Richard Hughes had been eager to bring the 25-year-old to Anfield.

Liverpool continues to have a strong interest in Antoine Semenyo. If Liverpool does not match Manchester City's offer, Semenyo will play for Manchester City.

Manchester City sources have admitted they would be very surprised if Antoine Semenyo were to change his decision and suddenly join Liverpool instead, amid strong media claims that the Reds were ready to make a late attempt to intervene in the transfer.

Manchester City and Liverpool are competing for Antoine Semenyo. His contract with Bournemouth includes a clause allowing him to leave for a fixed fee of 75 million euros, which expires on January 10. According to the BBC, Semenyo wants to decide his future as soon as possible and aims to know his destination before January 1. Bournemouth reportedly hopes to keep Semenyo for their matches on January 3 and January 7, 2026.

Bournemouth expects Liverpool to make a competing offer for Antoine Semenyo, according to the Mail and Telegraph. Sky Sports News also reports that Liverpool remains interested.

According to stories from England, Liverpool are attempting to interfere with the deal for Antoine Semenyo. Liverpool have been making calls regarding Semenyo since November, continuing before Christmas and in recent days to understand the situation. As of Sunday night, Liverpool had not approached Bournemouth to start a conversation or to state they are going to pay the release clause. Liverpool are calling the player's side to understand the situation, but at present their actions are limited to calling.

Media reports claimed Liverpool were ready to submit a counteroffer for Antoine Semenyo and had been linked with him as they considered a potential replacement for Mo Salah. Graeme Bailey confirmed that Liverpool have not held talks with Semenyo since Manchester City became the leading contender. Fresh reports suggested Semenyo could still become a focus of Liverpool’s transfer plans.

Antoine Semenyo is expected to leave AFC Bournemouth this winter and has a release clause of approximately 75 million euros for the first weeks of January. Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United are prepared to pay this amount. The Daily Mail and Telegraph report that Liverpool is attempting to persuade Semenyo to reconsider his decision. An opportunity for Liverpool will remain if Manchester City does not secure an agreement with Semenyo by January 1st.

According to the Telegraph, Liverpool continues to be interested in Antoine Semenyo. While it is said that Manchester City has an advantage, Semenyo's release clause will not become active until Thursday, which allows time for other interested clubs. Liverpool is closely monitoring the forward, and the club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, has a key role in the potential transfer.

The Athletic reported that Antoine Semenyo, a forward for Bournemouth, would have preferred to move to Arsenal in January if the club had demonstrated concrete interest. Liverpool and Manchester City have pursued Semenyo after he rejected Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Brown described Semenyo as a very good footballer who is wanted by many top clubs. From Liverpool's point of view, Brown added, it is a deal they wish to complete to pre-empt other clubs. He also said the transfer would be logical as the manager wants to increase the team's attacking depth.

Liverpool were heavily involved in discussions with Antoine Semenyo as recently as November, but their interest has lessened for now. The club's internal focus has, according to reports, shifted elsewhere, although that stance could change depending on circumstances.

Currently, the Merseyside club are less active than their Manchester rivals.

Bournemouth’s preference is to keep the 25-year-old until the end of the season, but Liverpool may make a winter approach. The situation will depend heavily on whether Liverpool's form improves in the coming weeks. Semenyo is reported to be happy at Bournemouth and not pushing to leave, but a definite offer from either City or Liverpool could change his position. While clubs such as Tottenham and Manchester United have also been linked to Semenyo, the competition appears to be primarily between City and Liverpool.

The release clause will change in the summer window, and the fee will be lower, but it will not be less than €57m (£50m). Bournemouth believe Liverpool are prepared to move quickly and will make a bid in January. Sources at the Vitality Stadium expect approaches for the Ghana international when the window opens. These sources consider his release fee to be relatively low for a Premier League player of his status.

He does not rule out that Bournemouth could obtain more if multiple interested parties emerge.

Consequently, Plumley believes a bidding war is possible, noting that if multiple clubs trigger the release clause, Bournemouth could gain more than the initial amount.

Recently, Bournemouth general manager Tim Bezbatchenko publicly stated, regarding Semenyo’s potential opportunity to join a big European club, and asked who they were to say he could not go and fulfil his dream.

Bournemouth will release the player if a clause in his contract is met, and the club is demanding that this clause is met. There is a special clause that applies to only three English clubs.

Antoine Semenyo has admitted he is aware of transfer speculation linking him with major clubs in England. Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation at Bournemouth, and it is expected there will be competition for his transfer next summer. Semenyo was linked with a departure before the 2025-26 campaign, but he chose to sign a new five-year contract with Andoni Iraola’s side in early July. Rumours of an exit are expected to increase ahead of the upcoming January transfer window, despite a reported €115 million price tag. Semenyo has insisted that he remains fully focused on performing for Bournemouth. Liverpool have shortlisted him as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is still being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Antoine Semenyo's performances are being monitored by several top clubs in the English championship, including Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea. In a response to Sky Sports, he said that he enjoys playing football where he is, and that if he does not score goals, all the transfer talk ceases.

A report in iNews states that Liverpool are interested in signing Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window and claims the club is exploring a deal that could reach £75 million. A crucial factor in the potential move is that the forward would remain available during the period Mohamed Salah is away for the Africa Cup of Nations.
