Manchester City have reportedly started tracking Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, with the Premier League champions quietly stepping up their search for a new attacker ahead of next year, per Sky Sports. The 25-year-old Ghanaian has become one of the league’s most energetic and dangerous wide forwards, drawing attention from several top English sides.
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, are expected to target new attackers in the upcoming windows and have also been linked with the Bournemouth star. Manchester United are similarly showing strong interest.
Semenyo, long admired for his speed and dribbling, has added a sharper goal threat this season and significantly improved his end product.
The winger has been in outstanding form, scoring 6 goals in 11 Premier League matches, so it’s no shock that major clubs are circling.
Sources indicate Manchester City’s interest isn’t new; their scouts have followed Semenyo since his Championship days. Pep Guardiola is known to favour versatile forwards capable of playing across the front line, pressing intensely, and covering big tactical spaces. Semenyo’s power, ball-carrying ability, and defensive work rate are key factors behind City’s admiration.
However, Bournemouth see Semenyo as an essential part of their long-term plans under Andoni Iraola. After the player recently signed a new contract, the club are expected to demand a very high fee — potentially up to £80 million.
While Semenyo is not actively seeking a transfer, interest from a club of City’s stature could set the stage for bigger discussions as the next transfer window approaches.
