Man Utd and Liverpool Sent Transfer Message as Antoine Semenyo Speaks Out
Antoine Semenyo has emerged as a major transfer target for both Manchester United and Liverpool, with the Bournemouth star attracting attention from two of England’s biggest clubs. The 25-year-old Ghana international has enjoyed a sensational start to the Premier League season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in his first seven appearances, making him one of the league’s most sought-after attackers.
Reports indicate that Liverpool are now leading the race to sign Semenyo, with the club already in contact with Bournemouth through sporting director Richard Hughes. The Merseyside giants see Semenyo as a solution to their need for more pace, strength, and unpredictability on the left flank, especially with concerns over Mohamed Salah’s form and Cody Gakpo’s struggles to fill Luis Diaz’s role. Liverpool believe Semenyo could make an instant impact and are willing to pay a significant fee, with Bournemouth reportedly valuing the player at around £75 million.
Manchester United remain interested in Semenyo, having previously held talks with the player and even agreeing personal terms during the summer. However, their interest cooled after being priced out of a deal, with Bournemouth demanding a much higher fee than United were willing to pay. Despite recent signings in attack, United could return for Semenyo if they feel further reinforcements are needed.
Adding intrigue to the situation is an undisclosed release clause in Semenyo’s contract, which could allow any club to trigger a move for a fixed fee. Transfer insider Indy Kaila has reported that Semenyo himself wants a move to Liverpool, making the Reds the frontrunners in the race. Bournemouth, aware of his value, are open to selling but only for the right price, with their valuation potentially dropping in the summer window.
With Tottenham also monitoring the situation, the coming months could see a fierce battle for Semenyo’s signature, but the player’s preference for Liverpool gives them a clear advantage in the transfer race.
