Andoni Iraola, the manager of Bournemouth, has dismissed concerns over Antoine Semenyo's release clause as rumors continue to circulate about a potential move to Liverpool for the Ghanaian international. Earlier this week, reports emerged that his new contract, which extends until the summer of 2030, includes release clauses that could be activated in January or next summer.

Liverpool is among several teams reportedly interested in Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window, but it remains uncertain whether the club will make a move for the striker. In response to recent reports about Semenyo's release clause, Bournemouth boss Iraola stated that now is not the time to speculate about what might happen in January.

"In January, we will talk about whatever happened, the players we need." Semenyo has emerged as one of the Premier League's most impressive performers this campaign. The forward faces a fitness test ahead of Bournemouth's Saturday fixture against West Ham, but if he maintains his excellent form, transfer speculation will inevitably intensify as the January window approaches.
