"But I can guarantee to you that as of tonight, Sunday night - I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow because my job is not to predict the future but I have to tell you what's happening today - Liverpool have never approached Bournemouth to start the conversation or to tell them, 'Okay we're going to pay the release clause'."
"And this didn't happen because as of today, the player's preference, already expressed a few days ago before Christmas Eve, is to go to Man City. Man City remain convinced that Antoine Semenyo wants to join them, Man City remain relaxed about the situation, and Man City will be in contact with Bournemouth - I told you - before the start of January to try to seal the deal for Semenyo as soon as possible."
Manchester City are expected to sign Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in the January transfer window. Liverpool have repeatedly called Bournemouth about Semenyo since November and continued inquiries through December and recent days, but have not formally approached Bournemouth to trigger the release clause. The player's stated preference, expressed before Christmas Eve, is to join Manchester City. Manchester City remain convinced that Semenyo wants to join, remain relaxed about the situation, and plan to contact Bournemouth before January to try to complete the deal as soon as the window opens.
