Liverpool Aims to Reignite Interest in Antoine Semenyo

Antoine Semenyo is a key player in discussions for a January transfer following his strong performance at Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old has thrived with The Cherries, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in 42 games last season, and is on track for a personal best in the current campaign.

So far, in 17 games, Semenyo has netted eight goals and three assists, indicating a promising season ahead.

With the January transfer window approaching, a move to another club seems very likely, especially since his release clause applies only during this window.

The Ghana international can be sold for £65 million, but this option expires on January 10, 2026, allowing Bournemouth time to find a replacement.

Manchester United and Manchester City are competing for the winger, with Liverpool also considering a move.

Sky Sports reports that Liverpool may renew their interest following an injury to Alexander Isak.

This injury adds to Liverpool’s challenges in attack, especially with Mohamed Salah away for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Additionally, Cody Gakpo is also sidelined, limiting Arne Slot’s options as he only has Frederico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitike, Rio Ngumoha, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Florian Wirtz available.

Meanwhile, United faces a similar situation with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo unavailable for AFCON, leaving Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount, and Joshua Zirkzee as their attacking choices.

Both clubs have a pressing need for new players, and there is currently no clear frontrunner for Antoine Semenyo. However, it is unlikely that he will remain with Bournemouth for the entire season.
