Manchester City are reportedly preparing a major move to activate the release clause of Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo — a development that will undoubtedly unsettle Liverpool, who have been heavily linked with the player.
The Times reports that the Premier League champions are seriously considering triggering the £65 million buyout clause once the January transfer window opens.
Semenyo, 25, has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers this season, attracting interest from several top clubs. Liverpool had long been viewed as the favourites for the Ghanaian winger, but City’s sudden involvement threatens to derail those plans entirely.
The timing is significant, with City eager to strengthen their attack as they chase down league leaders Arsenal.
