Man City Prepared to Trigger Antoine Semenyo’s Release Clause in January
Manchester City plan to activate the release clause of Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo as the January transfer window draws near.
The Bournemouth attacker drew strong interest during the summer, with Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all pushing for his signature.
Semenyo chose to remain with the Cherries and signed a new contract, but the situation has shifted again as the winter market approaches.
Bournemouth expect renewed pressure. The club dismissed several offers in the previous window, yet they now face fresh competition for the Black Stars forward.
Semenyo holds a release clause worth sixty five million pounds, which becomes active in January, and several clubs have already taken note.
Manchester City now lead the chase. Pep Guardiola wants additional strength on the wings, and the club intends to move quickly once the window opens.
City see Semenyo as an ideal fit for their attacking structure and appear ready to trigger the clause.
Semenyo began the Premier League season in excellent form. His momentum dipped slightly, but he continues to deliver strong numbers for Bournemouth.
He has played thirteen matches in all competitions this season, producing six goals and three assists while helping the team keep pace with the upper half of the table.
