Antoine Semenyo continues to be one of the most talked-about names ahead of the January transfer window, with several Premier League clubs closely monitoring the Bournemouth winger’s future.
The Ghana international has been in exciting form this season, making him one of English football’s most sought-after attackers.
Release clause makes January move possible
A key factor in the transfer speculation surrounding Semenyo is his £65 million release clause, which becomes active early in the January window.
That clause gives interested clubs the chance to trigger his departure from Bournemouth if they are willing to meet the valuation.
Bournemouth tied Semenyo down to a long-term contract in July 2025, extending his stay until 2030, but the inclusion of a release clause means that a mid-season move remains a real possibility.

Competition From Across the Premier League
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool’s interest in Semenyo is genuine, and the Reds are among the front-runners to secure his signature in January.
Liverpool are not alone in the race. Reports suggest that Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are also tracking Semenyo’s situation closely, with both clubs considering bids that could see the winger move in the winter window.
Even Arsenal has been linked with interest, with some reports claiming Semenyo is tempted by the prospect of featuring at the Emirates Stadium, although nothing concrete has emerged.
While Manchester United have been mentioned in earlier transfer chatter, recent expert insight suggests that their pursuit may be more cautious.
The Red Devils are balancing interest with other squad needs, and their level of commitment to a January bid is unclear at this stage.
Rising star
Semenyo, 25, has developed into a key figure for Bournemouth since joining from Bristol City in January 2023.
Known for his pace, strength and direct attacking style, he has become one of the Premier League’s most dangerous wide forwards, contributing goals and assists consistently.
At Bournemouth, he has scored 29 goals in over 100 appearances, with his 2025/26 form inspiring.
With the January transfer window approaching, Semenyo’s situation will be one of the key stories to watch.
If clubs are ready to meet his release clause and offer Champions League football, a move could be on the cards – potentially reshaping the attacking options of whichever side secures his signature.
