Transfer speculation is at a fever pitch after insider Indi Kaira drops a bombshell update on Bournemouth’s explosive winger Antoine Semenyo.
There is fierce competition for the player, with Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham reportedly in a three-way transfer battle.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian international has now reportedly decided on his preferred club.
Antoine Semenyo wants to move to Liverpool
Semenyo has quickly become one of the most high-profile attackers in the Premier League, with transfer reports firmly establishing Liverpool as favorites to sign him, with the club suggesting they have already made contact through Richard Hughes.
However, the situation is complicated by Bournemouth’s high valuation and the involvement of several elite clubs.
The Cherries are willing to sell the player for a reasonable price. They reportedly valued the player at £100m in a highly disruptive January sale, with the price potentially dropping to around £70m in the summer.
Adding to the intrigue is an undisclosed termination clause reportedly built into Semenyo’s contract.
The clause could allow interested clubs, with long-time fans Manchester United and Tottenham also keen on Semenyo, to sign the player for a fixed, or potentially lower, price.
However, the latest information on Kyra suggests that the final decision lies with the player and his preference is for a move to Merseyside.

Why Semenyo could become Liverpool’s Sadio Mane 2.0
The strong interest from top clubs has been driven by Semenyo’s incredible stats and profile, with many comparing him to former Reds legend Sadio Mane.
Semenyo had a career-high season last season and continued his incredible form this season, showing a deadly goalscoring threat.
He has six goals and three assists in eight Premier League appearances so far this season, showing he is developing into a true elite-level threat.
Known for his pure speed, explosive attacking runs and relentless pressing, the 25-year-old has valuable tactical flexibility.
He can play effectively across the front, on the left wing, on the right wing, or in the middle as a centre-forward.
| position | Appearance | the goal | assist |
|---|---|---|---|
| center forward | 73 | 12 | 13 |
| right wing | 54 | 13 | 6 |
| left winger | 54 | 10 | 8 |
This versatility, combined with his powerful and direct style of play, could make him the perfect long-term fit for Liverpool’s vibrant football.
