Manchester United is planning to continue its rebuild under Ruben Amorim by focusing on versatile players.
This summer, the team brought in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko to strengthen their attack.
With Mbeumo and Amad heading to the Africa Cup of Nations and Joshua Zirkzee rumored to leave, this could create space for another player.
Antoine Semenyo has emerged as an exciting option for Manchester United after showing strong performance at Bournemouth over the last two seasons.
The club has been in discussions with Bournemouth recently to learn more about Semenyo’s situation.
Currently, it appears to be a competitive situation between the two Manchester clubs, with Manchester City also interested.
Liverpool may join the pursuit soon as well.
Recent updates indicate that if approved, Manchester United wishes to negotiate Semenyo’s release clause in instalments instead of making a full £65 million payment upfront.
Jason Wilcox views the Ghanaian forward as an exceptional player who fits well with the club’s strategy, which Ruben Amorim also supports.
This instalment approach would help Manchester United manage the initial financial outlay, similar to their deal with Matheus Cunha this summer.
While the release clause sets the fee, the payment terms can vary, a trend becoming more common in football.
The specific details regarding the number of instalments and the payment duration are still unclear.
The final decision now depends on Antoine Semenyo as the January transfer window approaches.
