Antoine Semenyo, a winger for Bournemouth, has been reported to have chosen his new team following interest from three Premier League clubs in England.
The Athletic, a prominent English media outlet, reported that Antoine Semenyo, a key winger for Bournemouth, wants to move to Manchester City, known as the "Sky Blues," during the January transfer window next year, despite also attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
Semenyo has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 16 Premier League appearances, making him one of the standout players in England's top division this season. This has made him a target for several big clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Earlier rumors suggested that he preferred a move to Liverpool.
However, the latest reports indicate that Semenyo has decided to join Manchester City, aiming to win his first career title under the management of Pep Guardiola. Currently, City is second in the Premier League standings, trailing leaders Arsenal by 2 points.
Semenyo's release clause is set at £65 million, effective during the first 10 days of January. Although Bournemouth would prefer to keep their most valuable player until the summer, they have accepted the likelihood of losing him next month.
Semenyo is versatile in attack, able to play on the left wing, right wing, and as a forward. He combines disciplined defensive work with effective offensive contributions.
