Antoine Semenyo is attracting interest across the Premier League<\/a> and Bournemouth<\/a> are \u201cexpecting official bids\u201d in January, with Liverpool among the clubs interested.<\/p>\n

Semenyo has been readily linked to Liverpool in either a move this winter or next summer, with the 25-year-old a proven Premier League<\/a> player who can be registered as a homegrown talent.<\/p>\n

The forward signalled his intentions for his future when he signed a new contract with Bournemouth<\/a> in July that included a release clause.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s interest is not new, and transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano recently stated<\/a> that the club \u201care seriously considering\u201d the forward, who is on their transfer shortlist.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/a>\u2018s Mike McGrath has since reported that Liverpool are now \u2018finalising their plans for the mid-season window\u2019 as Bournemouth<\/a> brace for January bids.<\/p>\n

Man City<\/a> and Tottenham<\/a> are among the clubs to have been name-checked with interest, with Liverpool unlikely to be alone in considering Semenyo an opportunistic signing.<\/p>\n

The club invested heavily in their attack over the summer and there will be understandable debate over whether Semenyo is a priority signing to fix the issues at hand. <\/p>\n

There is, of course, also continued speculation over a return for Marc Guehi after his deadline day transfer collapsed. <\/p>\n

It leaves plenty for Richard Hughes<\/a> to mull over, but plans need to be clear and decisive to avoid the issues that saw Guehi head back to Selhurst Park after undergoing his medical.<\/p>\n

Antoine Semenyo release clause explained<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Semenyo can leave Bournemouth<\/a> for a set fee either in the first two weeks of the January transfer window or after the current campaign concludes.<\/p>\n

Reports have widely stated<\/a> that he will initially be available for \u00a360 million plus \u00a35 million in add-ons in the winter, though it is not known if the fee is paid in its entirety or in instalments.<\/p>\n

This was designed to allow Bournemouth<\/a> to find a replacement in the final weeks of the winter window should he depart.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Romano, meanwhile, then claimed<\/a> that the 25-year-old can be signed for just over \u00a350 million in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

It leaves clubs to consider whether they target the forward in January for a premium price or wait until the summer for a reduction on the fee.<\/p>\n

McGrath, meanwhile, adds that Semenyo would not have signed his new contract in the summer if it did not include this specific release clause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antoine Semenyo is attracting interest across the Premier League and Bournemouth are \u201cexpecting official bids\u201d in January, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[38703,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-284633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-antoine-semenyo","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
