Overview
- Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are all linked with Antoine Semenyo, whose Bournemouth contract is widely reported to contain a £65m release clause active in early January.
- Sky Sports reporting, echoed by multiple outlets, says Tottenham have revived their pursuit and are prepared to meet the clause, adding fresh pressure to rivals.
- The Times reports Manchester City are considering triggering the clause, though no formal commitment or bids have been confirmed.
- Liverpool are monitoring the situation and weighing alternatives, with reporting from The Athletic and others indicating reluctance to spend £65m in January after recent investment.
- Several reports suggest the clause drops to nearer £50m in the summer 2026 window, while Andoni Iraola stresses Semenyo remains a Bournemouth player until January as the winger’s six goals and three assists in 12 league games fuel interest.
