Manchester United have reportedly opened talks to sign 25-year-old Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo from fellow Premier League club Bournemouth this summer.
According to a report by Africa Foot, Antoine Semenyo is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a wide attacker and have set their sights on the Bournemouth winger. They have opened talks to sign the Ghanaian international from their fellow Premier League club.
The Premier League heavyweights are ready to offer €40 million to sign the London-born winger, with the Cherries demanding around €50 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. However, Manchester United will face stiff competition from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur for Semenyo’s signature.
Antoine Semenyo has established himself as one of the most underrated attackers in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023. The 25-year-old has been exceptional thus far in the 2024/25 season, amassing nine goals and five assists in 32 outings in all competitions. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, alerting Premier League bigwigs like Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United.
The Ghanaian international has been on Chelsea’s radar for a long time. The Blues remain active in the market for reinforcement across the board despite heavily bolstering their squad in the last two years. However, amid uncertainties surrounding Mykhailo Mudryk’s long-term future, Semenyo is a viable target for Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Antoine Semenyo makes sense. The North London giants are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Richarlison’s long-term future. So, the Bournemouth winger is an option worth considering for Tottenham.
As for Manchester United, Semenyo can be a top-notch addition to the offensive unit, even though Ruben Amorim employs central attackers in his system. So, the Bournemouth winger is a viable target, with the Red Devils initiating the discussions to land the London-born forward. Manchester United are ready to cough up €40 million to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
However, Bournemouth will demand around €50 million to part ways with the Ghanaian international. Meanwhile, Manchester United are ready to offer a five-year contract to the 25-year-old winger. So, it will be interesting to see if they can beat Chelsea and Tottenham to his signature for the €50 million-rated attacker.
