"I am getting many questions today, guys, because of some reports about Liverpool, reports mentioning that Liverpool might hijack this deal for Antoine Semenyo. What I can tell you, guys, is that Manchester City want to be as fast as possible to avoid any kind of surprise for the Antoine Semenyo deal. So, what Manchester City will do next is to be in touch, already this week with Bournemouth, the relationship between the two clubs, I am told, is quite good."
"Manchester City will sit at a table and say, okay, we have an agreement with Semenyo, we can pay the release clause, £65million, by January 10th, remember, or try to agree between clubs with a different structure. So, Manchester City and Bournemouth will talk this week, in these hours, I would say, to try to reach an agreement on the structure of the deal and get the 'Here we go' done for Antoine Semenyo."
"From Liverpool, they have always been calling. Liverpool started calling in November, Liverpool called again in December. Liverpool have always been in contact with people close to the player. At the moment, sources close to Semenyo confirm that the player has indicated Manchester City as his favourite destination. But, you know, until the deals are signed, we always have to be careful."
Manchester City are attempting to complete the January signing of Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo and plan immediate contact with Bournemouth to finalise terms. The club is prepared to pay the £65 million release clause by January 10 or negotiate an alternative structure between clubs. Relations between Manchester City and Bournemouth are described as good, facilitating direct talks this week. Liverpool have also maintained contact with the player since November and remain interested. Sources close to Semenyo indicate he prefers Manchester City, but the transfer is not final until contracts are signed, prompting rapid action.
