Antoine Semenyo’s release clause is set at £65m for January, GMS understands. The clause, revealed by GMS on Market Madness in October, is not valued for the full duration of the window.
Bournemouth will be well aware of potential suitors for the Ghana international, who has already netted an impressive six Premier League goals this season. Eyebrows were raised when the winger put pen to paper on a new contract at The Vitality Stadium in the summer after his lauded 2024-25 campaign.
The £65 million figure will further diminish in the summer transfer window. The clause allowed Bournemouth to keep Semenyo for this season. Although the club will fight to keep the 25-year-old in January, they are realistic that an exit is possible given his form.

Antoine Semenyo in action for Bournemouth
As reported by The Athletic, the clause can be triggered by any club, although the demands will need to be met by a certain date to allow his current club the time to search for a replacement. The Cherries would prefer to keep their star man until the summer, but have reluctantly accepted they won't be able to stop Semenyo moving in the winter window.
Bournemouth are a club that have become known for their shrewd work in the transfer market. Key players such as Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi all departed before the season started, but Andoni Iraola's men have continued to be one of the surprise packages of English football.
Tottenham and Manchester United considered Semenyo over the previous summer window. It is understood that Liverpool hold an interest in the Ghanaian heading into 2025, with Arne Slot's men looking to get their faltering season back on track.
His versatility across the front line would see Semenyo competing with Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah in the Reds' line-up if the Merseysiders were to make a winter approach. Slot saw first-hand what the wide player is capable of on the opening day of the season as he netted twice at Anfield in a 4-2 Bournemouth loss.
