Manchester United and Tottenham are ready to push on for Antoine Semenyo by battling Liverpool and Manchester City for the Bournemouth attacker’s signature.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Manchester United are ready to go all out for the signature of Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January window. Tottenham Hotspur are also pushing to sign the Bournemouth star, but the Premier League duo faces competition from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.
Antoine Semenyo is set to be the big talking point in the coming days leading up to the January window. The Bournemouth star has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, and a £65 million release clause makes things complicated for Bournemouth ahead of the upcoming window.
The clause is set to have a limited time to trigger from January 1 onwards, and interested clubs will have a small window of opportunity to get the player. Manchester United are open to triggering the clause, and they are currently ready to go all out in their efforts to land Semenyo.
The Red Devils were interested in the £65 million-rated attacking target back in the summer before signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Antoine Semenyo’s versatility across the front line makes him a formidable target, as Ruben Amorim wants to add another attacker in the mix.
Manchester City and Liverpool are also in the mix in a big way, with those two clubs widely seen as the front-runners in the chase. Champions League football could be an important element in the race to sign the £65 million-rated attacker, and both of those teams can offer that, while Manchester United cannot.
Tottenham in the race for Antoine Semenyo?
Tottenham are also keen on Semenyo, and as per TEAMtalk, they are also pushing to get a deal in place. Thomas Frank wants a key attacking signing to bolster his ranks, with Spurs ready to make Semenyo the highest-paid star at the club should he choose them instead of other rivals.
Despite reports stating Antoine Semenyo has agreed to personal terms with Liverpool and Manchester City, the race seems to be wide open. For interested clubs, the £65 million release clause is straightforward in many ways, but the bigger task will be convincing the player over a move.
