Despite having spent a fortune to reinforce their attack in the last summer transfer window, Liverpool are still looking for more quality in the final third, and according to a report from Fichajes, the Reds have their eyes set on Antoine Semenyo. They are gearing up to make an €80 million offer to sign the Bournemouth winger.
After making a name for himself at Bristol City, Semenyo joined the Cherries at the start of 2023. He has gone from strength to strength over the years, and of late, the 25-year-old has been on fire.
He has made a sensational start to the new season, having bagged six goals and three assists in his 11 league outings. He has played a big part in Bournemouth’s impressive start.
His consistent performances have placed him on Liverpool’s radar. The Merseyside club’s scouts have been constantly watching him, and they consider him an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s system because of his strong physical presence, speed and ability to break through defensive lines.
People at Anfield believe he could significantly bolster their attack and could end up being an ideal long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. With the Egyptian struggling to replicate what he did last season, the Reds want to prepare for his potential departure.
The Merseyside club have already made an enquiry to learn more about a potential transfer. Liverpool are prepared to invest €80 million to bring him to Anfield. While the figure might seem slightly on the higher side, the Reds believe they need to push harder if they are to land one of Bournemouth’s best players.
While he prefers playing on the right flank, he can feature anywhere in attack, and his versatility could certainly come in handy. The Cherries are reluctant to sell one of their best players, and only a significant financial offer will make things happen. While Liverpool seem ready to break the bank, they might face some competition for his signature.
