Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake has provided a significant boost to Liverpool's hopes of signing Antoine Semenyo, indicating that the club would consider offers for the talented forward if they meet their valuation. Semenyo has been in sensational form this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in ten Premier League appearances, making him one of the most sought-after wingers in England.



Blake acknowledged that Liverpool, along with Manchester City and Tottenham, are among the clubs closely monitoring Semenyo's situation. While Bournemouth is keen to keep hold of their star player, the chief executive admitted that no player is truly "unsellable" if the right offer comes in. He emphasized that the club would not be forced into a sale but would listen to serious bids, especially those that reflect Semenyo's market value and potential.

Reports suggest Liverpool are preparing a bid of around £65 million to trigger Semenyo's release clause, with the Anfield club viewing him as a prime candidate to eventually replace Mohamed Salah on the right wing. Semenyo's versatility, having played both on the right and left flank, adds to his appeal for Liverpool, who are looking to build a flexible and dynamic attacking unit for the future.

Despite the interest, Bournemouth remain hopeful of retaining Semenyo for the remainder of the season, with the club's management stressing their desire to maintain squad stability. However, the chief executive's comments have opened the door for a potential summer move, with Liverpool seen as the frontrunners to secure his signature if they are willing to meet Bournemouth's asking price.
