Antoine Semenyo Remains Focused at Bournemouth Despite Big Six Interest

Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo remains a key figure for the Cherries despite reported interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur during the recent transfer windows.

Release Clause and Transfer Dynamics

Recent reports indicate that Semenyo’s contract includes a £65 million release clause. This clause has reportedly drawn attention from several elite clubs looking to bolster their attacking options. Bristol City, who sold Semenyo to Bournemouth for £10 million in January 2023, maintains a 20% sell-on clause on any profit from a future transfer. Despite the speculation, the winger appears settled at the Vitality Stadium and is not actively pushing for a mid-season exit.

Market Value and Future

Outlook Bournemouth previously rejected offers in the region of £50 million before the Ghanaian international committed to a new long-term deal. With the release clause set at £65 million, interested suitors would need to meet this valuation to bypass negotiations—a figure increasingly seen as fair market value for a proven Premier League goalscorer.

Semenyo has enjoyed a productive campaign, establishing himself as one of the most clinical forwards outside the traditional “Big Six.” His physical presence and scoring output have placed him among the league’s top performers this season. While Bournemouth is determined to retain their star man, the existence of a fixed release clause makes a summer move highly plausible if his current form continues.
