Régis Le Bris issues major Sunderland team news update ahead of Bournemouth game
Liverpool are reportedly considering making a £65 million move for Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo in January.
It emerged over the October international break that the 25-year-old Bournemouth footballer has a £65m ($85m) release clause in the five-year contract he signed this summer. Now, the Reds are deciding whether or not to move for he winger in early 2026 or risk competition next summer from their Premier League rivals.
When Semenyo signed a new Bournemouth deal until 2030 this summer, potential suitors most likely felt their hopes of signing him had shrunk. However, the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham were given a boost after this release clause news emerged in October.
With the January transfer window just over a month away, speculation is ramping up again that the Ghana international could be on the move in 2026. However, Cherries boss Andoni Iraola was said last week that Semenyo is “our player”.

He told reporters: "We are in November. Antoine is our player, he will continue being our player. In January, you can ask me about the market in January, but right now I'm not worried about the next markets.
“It's something that especially you know that I hate to talk about in August, January, the moments when the market is open, but it is not one of those moments. It's November. I'm more worried about the situation of the players to play tomorrow, the short-term, the things that really matter and in January, we will talk about whatever happens, the players we need. But it is not something that I'm worried about today."
