"Numerous sources reported a few days ago that Manchester City were in the pole position to sign Antoine Semenyo by triggering the £65million release clause in his contract and Bournemouth, after Liverpool pulled out of the race and the winger chose City ahead of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as his preferred destination. Now, however, several reports claim the Reds could still return to the fold, pouring fresh uncertainty over the saga."
"The Premier League champions were said to have made contact with Semenyo's camp back in November but eventually decided not to pursue a deal, leaving the way clear for other suitors to compete. But the leg fracture Alexander Isak suffered while scoring the opening goal of the Reds' victory away to Tottenham Hotspur appears to have prompted a rethink at Anfield."

Recent reports indicate Liverpool could re-enter the race, creating fresh uncertainty, while Semenyo's representatives are reportedly due in Manchester to finalise a move. City contacted Semenyo's camp in November but stepped back, allowing other suitors to compete. Alexander Isak's leg fracture and other attacker absences at Liverpool have prompted a potential rethink, and Semenyo wants the matter resolved quickly.
