"All sources confirm that City are in advanced talks and intend to trigger his £65 million release clause, which becomes active on January 1 and expires on January 10. Semenyo's representatives have already met City officials, and the player is eager to finalize the move early in the window. The likelihood of this transfer happening is extremely high. Manchester City are the only club to have formally engaged Bournemouth about activating the clause"
"Pep Guardiola has remained coy in public, but behind the scenes, City's hierarchy views Semenyo as a critical addition to bolster their attack. Bournemouth, meanwhile, hope to keep him for two key fixtures-against Arsenal and Tottenham-before his departure, but the player's preference for an immediate move suggests this saga will conclude swiftly. Liverpool were once considered a serious contender for Semenyo's signature, especially after Mohamed Salah's AFCON absence and Alexander Isak's injury raised questions about their attacking depth."
Manchester City are in advanced talks to trigger Antoine Semenyo’s £65 million release clause, which becomes active on January 1 and runs until January 10. Semenyo’s representatives have met City officials and the player prefers an immediate move early in the window. City are the only club to have formally engaged Bournemouth about activating the clause, making the transfer highly likely unless a dramatic late twist occurs. Bournemouth want to retain Semenyo for upcoming fixtures against Arsenal and Tottenham, but club preference is secondary to the player’s desire to move. Several other clubs explored interest but did not act decisively.
