Liverpool have moved to the front of the queue to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo after reportedly agreeing to personal terms for a potential £65 million January transfer.
Liverpool have reportedly taken a significant step toward bolstering their frontline after agreeing to personal terms with Bournemouth standout Antoine Semenyo.
The 25-year-old Ghana international has emerged as a top priority for manager Arne Slot as the club navigates an uncertain future regarding Mohamed Salah’s contract.
While Manchester City are also said to have reached a similar agreement with the player, Liverpool are positioning themselves aggressively ahead of the winter window.
Semenyo has been a revelation this season, tallying seven Premier League goals—including a crucial strike in a recent – draw against Manchester United.
His versatility, which allows him to operate across the entire front three, makes him an ideal tactical fit for Slot’s evolving system.
Despite the intense interest from elite rivals, sources indicate that “Liverpool and Manchester City have already agreed personal terms,” placing both clubs at the forefront of the chase.
Securing the forward will require meeting a substantial £65 million release clause, as Bournemouth are under no immediate pressure to sell their prized asset.
Although the Cherries would prefer to retain Semenyo until the summer, the activation of this clause would force a move.
While Manchester United remain in the background conducting “background checks and enquiries,” Liverpool’s proactive approach suggests they are determined to win the race for the explosive attacker.
