A major update regarding Bournemouth’s explosive winger Antoine Semenyo has been shared online in the late hours of Wednesday night.
There is fierce competition for the player with Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham all reportedly in a three-way transfer battle for the player.
And the 25-year-old Ghana international has now reportedly made his decision on which club he wants.
Antoine Semenyo wants Liverpool move
Semenyo has quickly become one of the Premier League’s most sought-after attackers, and transfer reports suggest Liverpool are firmly established as the frontrunners for his signature, with the club already contacted through Richard Hughes.
The situation, however, is complicated by Bournemouth’s towering valuation and the involvement of multiple elite clubs.
The Cherries are open to selling the player but for the right price. They reportedly value the player at £100 million for a highly disruptive January sale, with the price potentially dropping to around £70 million in the summer window.
Adding further intrigue is an undisclosed release clause reportedly embedded in Semenyo’s contract.
This clause could allow any interested club, including long-term admirers Manchester United and Tottenham, who are also strongly keen on Semenyo, to secure the player for a fixed, potentially lower price.
But Kaila’s update suggests the final decision rests with the player, and his preference lies squarely with a switch to Merseyside.

Why Semenyo could be Liverpool’s Sadio Mane 2.0
The intense interest from top clubs is driven by Semenyo’s staggering output and profile, leading many to draw comparisons with former Reds legend Sadio Mane.
Semenyo enjoyed a career-high campaign last season, and he has carried that incredible form into the current term, demonstrating a lethal goalscoring threat.
He boasts 6 goals and 3 assists across eight Premier League appearances so far this season, showcasing his development into a truly elite-level threat.
Known for his sheer speed, explosive attacking runs, and relentless pressing, the 25-year-old offers invaluable tactical flexibility.
| Position | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centre-Forward | 73 | 12 | 13 |
| Right Winger | 54 | 13 | 6 |
| Left Winger | 54 | 10 | 8 |
He is capable of playing effectively across the entire front line, on the left wing, right wing, or through the middle as a central forward.
This versatility, combined with his powerful, direct style of play, makes him a potentially perfect long-term fit for Liverpool’s high-octane football.
Heard the other day that Antoine’s a boyhood Arsenal fan.
I’m sure they’ll be for him.
Like him on very much on the performances I’ve seen.
I’m still impressed with links to Nico Williams and Olise too, though Bayern have been reportedly trying to extend his contract.
£60-80m now appears to be the new standard rate for top rated forwards.
This puts a fair bit of pressure on the extra £115m spent per three year period rule.
Accountants beware !💰💨😉
