According to Ekrem Konur, Antoine Semenyo’s suitors are thinking about triggering his £65 million release clause ahead of the January transfer window. The Bournemouth star’s clause would be available in January as the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham are the ones keen.
Antoine Semenyo has made some of the top Premier League sides stand up and take notice of his talents, after not many of them came forward with offers for the Ghanaian international. The Bournemouth star has six goals and three assists in 11 top-flight games, which puts him in a bracket that few are in.
The fact that Ghana did not qualify for AFCON makes him an interesting option for some of the top clubs in the market for a versatile attacker of his sort. Despite signing a new deal back in the summer until 2030, David Ornstein has revealed that Semenyo’s contract includes a £65 million release clause, which will be active in January.
Ornstein also stated that the clause could be lowered next summer, but clubs are already lining up a move for Antoine Semenyo in January, showing the willingness to trigger the £65 million release clause. Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are all interested in the 25-year-old Bournemouth star, as he brings an x-factor to their attacking setup.
Bournemouth will be powerless if a side comes in to trigger his clause, with that quartet of teams already considering the idea to pay up. Liverpool had planned a move in January as they needed a left-sided attacker in their ranks to bolster their chances this season.
Bournemouth would certainly want to keep him for the rest of the season, but the level of interest from top six clubs could turn his head. The £65 million-rated attacker is also a target for Tottenham, who are still in the market for a marquee attacker.
Manchester United had plotted a move, while Manchester City are also in need of a winger to improve their front three. Either way, there might be more teams in the mix ahead of the next weeks, as Chelsea and Arsenal could also make their presence felt in the race, but for now, the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham are the ones thinking about triggering Antoine Semenyo’s release clause.
