Liverpool Reportedly Open Talks as January Clause Fuels Race for Bournemouth’s Semenyo

A time-limited £65m release clause in early January is driving a scramble among England’s elite.

Overview

  • Football365 reports Liverpool have opened talks with Bournemouth over a payment structure for Antoine Semenyo and informed Mohamed Salah of plans to sign a versatile winger.
  • Manchester City are widely described as frontrunners, with TEAMtalk‑sourced reports saying talks are advanced and the champions are ready to trigger the clause.
  • Tottenham are said to be willing to break their wage structure following a £100m ENIC equity injection, positioning Spurs to try to hijack the deal.
  • Semenyo’s release clause is reported to be around £65m and active only in an early‑January window, with no club publicly confirming a formal bid so far.
  • Bournemouth are preparing for potential exits, with reports linking them to Sporting CP teenager Geovany Quenda on loan, while Semenyo’s six goals and three assists plus AFCON‑free availability add to his appeal.
