Manchester City Nearing Agreement with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo

Manchester City is on the verge of finalizing a deal with Bournemouth for the acquisition of forward Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old player is attracting significant interest, with terms for his transfer set at £65 million.

Details of the Manchester City-Bournemouth Agreement

Negotiations between City and Bournemouth have intensified over the past two days. Both parties aim to finalize the remaining contractual details with the January transfer window opening soon.

• Transfer Fee: £65 million release clause agreed upon.
• Player Representatives: Present in Manchester to finalize personal terms.
• Negotiation Progress: Total agreement is anticipated imminently.

Player’s Current Situation

Semenyo is expected to feature in Bournemouth’s lineup against Chelsea on Tuesday. He is eager to have his future resolved by January 1. However, Bournemouth might insist he plays against Arsenal on Saturday, January 3.

The Cherries are keen for Semenyo to participate in crucial upcoming matches against Arsenal and Tottenham on January 7, before the clause in his contract expires on January 10.

Interest from Other Clubs

Despite interest from several clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham, Manchester City is the only team that has made formal contact. If City does not make a last-minute move, Semenyo is likely to join the Premier League champions.

This potential signing reinforces City’s commitment to strengthening their squad in the competitive landscape of English football.
