Manchester City<\/a> are close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth<\/a> to sign Antoine Semenyo for \u00a365m.<\/p>\n

Their move for the Ghana forward, 25, is at an advanced stage with talks over the past 48 hours aimed at closing the finer details of the deal.<\/p>\n

City have agreed to meet Semenyo’s \u00a365m release clause, while the player’s representatives were in Manchester on Monday finalising personal terms.<\/p>\n

Discussions continued on Tuesday with sources indicating that a total agreement is now close with the January transfer window due to open on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Semenyo, who is in Bournemouth<\/a>‘s starting line-up to play Chelsea<\/a> on Tuesday, has been keen for his future to be resolved by 1 January<\/a> but it remains to be seen whether the Cherries push for the attacker to play against Arsenal<\/a> on Saturday, 3 January.<\/p>\n

Sources have told BBC Sport that Bournemouth<\/a> want him to play against the Gunners and then Tottenham<\/a> on Wednesday, 7 January before the release mechanism in his deal elapses on 10 January.<\/p>\n

As reported by BBC Sport on Sunday, Liverpool<\/a> retain an interest in Semenyo but, unless the Premier League champions launch a late bid, he is heading to City.<\/p>\n

Despite interest in Semenyo from five clubs, including Chelsea<\/a>, Manchester United<\/a> and Tottenham<\/a>, City remain the only one to have made formal contact with Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City are close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth to sign Antoine Semenyo for \u00a365m.
