In a dramatic twist ahead of the January transfer window, Manchester City are reportedly poised to hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, a top target for Arne Slot. City are prepared to activate the Ghanaian forward’s £65 million release clause, catching Liverpool’s hierarchy off guard.
Semenyo, who has impressed this season with six Premier League goals and three assists, had been earmarked by Liverpool as a crucial reinforcement during Mohamed Salah’s expected AFCON absence. With City now intervening, Liverpool have reportedly activated a “Plan B” strategy to safeguard their winter recruitment.
Liverpool’s alternative targets include:
Kenan Yıldız (Juventus): The 18-year-old Turkish talent is a long-term investment, though Juventus are hesitant to sell mid-season.
