Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
According to an update by German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool have held concrete talks to sign 25-year-old Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo in January. He has a €70 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide to pay up in January.
The Premier League champions could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit. They have struggled to create opportunities from the flanks this season. The departure of Luis Diaz has hurt them badly. Mohamed Salah has not been at his best either.
The new signings are still struggling to adapt to the Premier League. Adding more quality in the final thought would be a wise decision for Liverpool. Meanwhile, the Cherries will not want to lose a key player in the middle of the season, but they are powerless to stop him from leaving if Liverpool decide to trigger his release clause.
Convincing the London-born attacker to join the club will not be difficult for the Premier League champions. They will hope to get the deal across the line. The 25-year-old is in fine form right now, and he is certainly one of the best attacking players in the Premier League. He will add goals, creativity, and flair to the attack.
The €70 million investment might seem like a premium right now, but Semenyo is at the peak of his career, and he could hit the ground running at Anfield. However, recent reports have claimed that apart from Liverpool, several bigwigs are mulling over triggering his clause.
Semenyo could be tempted
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the country will be quite exciting for him. Semenyo has proved himself with Bournemouth, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. He will look to fight for major trophies with Liverpool.
Liverpool have had a disastrous start to the season, and they are currently struggling in the mid-table positions. A club of their stature should be securing Champions League football regularly, and they will look to bounce back during the second half of the season. Signing the right players could help them get their season back on track.
