"Semenyo right now is with us. He trained today with us. I know that there is lots of noise around him. It's not my concern, my concern is it doesn't affect his performances. It is not doing, he is very committed to the team and I hope we can keep him here. [It is a] situation we cannot control, but Antoine right now is our player. Going to continue playing for us."
"Antoine, for me, has been performing very well, he said. He has consistently been very good since the beginning. Even when not scoring, he is still valuable for us. At the end, we don't just demand numbers. It is no secret he is a massive player for us. Yes, he is performing amazingly well. But lots of wingers from other teams are performing amazingly well."
Andoni Iraola wants Bournemouth to retain Antoine Semenyo despite reported interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City and a reported £65m buy-out clause. Semenyo scored eight Premier League goals and provided three assists this season, and he recorded 14 goals and six assists in 2025, equalling the club's calendar-year involvement record. Only Erling Haaland (19) and Igor Thiago (11) have scored more in the top flight this season. Iraola praised Semenyo's commitment, saying speculation has not affected his performances and expressing hope the club can keep him, while acknowledging the transfer market is unpredictable.
