Manchester United are ready to trigger Antoine Semenyo’s release clause and bring the forward ahead of their rivals in January.
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United do not want to miss out on the market opportunity with Antoine Semenyo, and they are ready to trigger the Bournemouth star’s release clause. Liverpool and Tottenham are also in the running for the Ghanaian international, as his future remains an open topic of discussion.
Antoine Semenyo is likely to become one of the big talking points in the first half of the January transfer window. The reveal of a £65 million release clause in his Bournemouth contract has stirred the market to a new level, as a host of teams are angling to get one of the best performers in the league this season so far.
Semenyo is certainly looking for an upgrade in his career, and he might have signed a new deal back in the summer only if it came with a release clause. Bournemouth have set a timeline for clubs to trigger the release clause in the £65 million-rated attacking target’s deal, and they will not entertain bids if any of the suitors break the deadline.
The Cherries are likely to be powerless, as a host of top clubs are angling for a move. Manchester United are among those very keen on signing Antoine Semenyo, even though they do not need a player in the position out of desperation. Yet, they feel Ruben Amorim can make use of a versatile player like Semenyo in different roles in the team.
Manchester United are ready to trigger the release clause in the player’s contract, although that does not necessarily mean Semenyo is certain to join them. Much will depend on what sort of offers the forward receives in the January transfer window, while there have been reports he might even stay at Bournemouth until the summer.
Can Tottenham or Liverpool sign Semenyo?
Manchester United will face massive competition, with Liverpool seen as the front-runners in the Semenyo chase as things stand. The Reds are now reportedly looking to replace Mohamed Salah, and while Semenyo could be one of the options, the Reds already had an interest in the £65 million-rated attacking target before the Salah saga began.
Tottenham are also interested in Antoine Semenyo, but there might be a case for the player, as he could pick others over Spurs, as per a few sections of the media. Either way, there is no set destination for Semenyo as things stand, as Manchester United, much like Liverpool or Tottenham, could have a good chance to sign him in January.
