Liverpool Set to Sign Antoine Semenyo for £75m

Liverpool are preparing a £75m January move for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old, known for his exceptional one-on-one ability and nine goal contributions this season, is seen as a perfect fit for Arne Slot’s attack alongside Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak. Hughes’ connection to Semenyo makes the transfer highly likely.

The recent news from the Liverpool camp suggests that the club is preparing a major move in the January transfer window. Despite several signings over the summer, manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes recognize that the squad still lacks key profiles, including a centre-back, a holding midfielder, and a right-back. Another priority is strengthening the flanks, where Liverpool currently lack players capable of winning one-on-one situations, a skill crucial for modern attacking play.

Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth has emerged as a prime target. The 25-year-old winger has excelled in take-ons, registering nine goal contributions this season, more than any current Liverpool player. Semenyo, who was previously signed by Hughes from Bristol City, recently extended his contract with Bournemouth but is expected to move to a bigger club eventually. The Daily Mail reports that Bournemouth is open to a £75 million deal, a figure considered a bargain for a player of Semenyo’s ability.

Liverpool see Semenyo as a player who could enhance Slot’s attack, linking up with Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak. With the January window approaching, discussions are reportedly progressing quickly, and Semenyo’s potential transfer could significantly strengthen Liverpool’s squad for the remainder of the season.
