Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool keen on Antoine Semenyo

Liverpool are interested in signing Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that Semenyo has a release clause of £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons in his contract at the Cherries.

Romano said about Semenyo on his YouTube channel: “The clause is going to be valid in January and also the summer transfer window. The value is different.

“For the January transfer window, the value is £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons.

“For the summer transfer window, it is slightly above £50 million.

“Bournemouth hope to keep the player, but if a club triggers the clause or tries to negotiate the value of the clause, that can be different, and in that case, Bournemouth would have to let the player go.

“Manchester United were interested last summer, and Tottenham also called for Semenyo last summer.

“These two clubs have been following the player for a long time.

“Liverpool are interested and keen in a potential deal for Antoine Semenyo.

“From what I am hearing, Liverpool are considering this possibility.

“They are following the player and have a very good relationship with Bournemouth (after signing Milos Kerkez last summer and Ben Doak heading the opposite direction).

“Let’s see what is going to happen in the next month, so let’s see what is going to happen, there could be another club to add, from what I am hearing.”
