Overview
- Multiple reports place Manchester City in pole position and ready to meet Antoine Semenyo’s £65 million clause once the window opens.
- Liverpool’s interest is described as genuine by Fabrizio Romano, with separate reports claiming talks on payment structure and that Mohamed Salah has been briefed.
- Tottenham are said to be prepared to break their wage framework to compete, while Manchester United are considering a move as they reassess forward options.
- The clause is widely reported at roughly £60m guaranteed plus £5m in add-ons, active only in early January and potentially lower in the summer.
- Bournemouth are planning for possible departure by assessing replacements such as Sporting CP’s Geovany Quenda, as Semenyo’s strong season (six goals, three assists) and AFCON availability sustain interest.
