He is understood to have an $87 million (£65M) release clause which will be active in the New Year, although not for long, meaning any clubs interested will have to move quickly in order to make a significant saving.Liverpool has been linked as one of the sides in the race for Semenyo, along with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.

But perhaps Semenyo could help in that regard.Alexander Isak's injury leaves Liverpool short of options in attack(Image: Alex Pantling/Getty Images)Although the Ghana international has been used primarily as a winger, he has, on occasions, been utilized as a striker. What’s more, it’s a role that he desperately wants to become his regular position.Appearing in a video for AwayDays on YouTube, Semenyo sent a message to current manager, saying: "I'm destined to be a No.

Andoni [Iraola], gaffer, play me as a nine - that's all I'm gonna say."It’s unlikely that Semenyo would feature too often as the out-and-out frontman in Liverpool’s attack if he did make the move to Anfield, but having his versatility would certainly be of use, and might well help to ease the load on Ekitike in Isak’s absence.And the signs are promising when it comes to the 25-year-old joining the Reds. According to The Guardian, Semenyo favors a move to Liverpool over the likes of City and United, and personal terms are even said to have been agreed already.Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
