"Semenyo has a £65 million ($131m AUD) release clause in his Bournemouth contract and the club are resigned to losing a player who has become pivotal to their success. However, they are hopeful any negotiations could see him remain at his current club until the end of the season, instead of making a permanent move. Semenyo's decision will reportedly come down to his own personal ambitions."
"(It is) not my concern, my concern is it doesn't affect his performances. It is not doing, he is very committed to the team and I hope we can keep him here. (A) situation we cannot control, but Antoine right now is our player, going to continue playing for us. If you ask me, I don't want to lose him, definitely don't. But every time the market opens, you never know what is going to happen."
Antoine Semenyo is poised to join Manchester City in a potential January transfer after positive talks between his camp and City officials, with Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool also showing interest. The 25-year-old Ghana international has eight goals and three assists in 16 appearances this season. Bournemouth face losing a pivotal player who has a £65 million release clause, and the club hope any deal might allow Semenyo to remain until season's end. United reportedly withdrew after learning a move to City was likely. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola emphasized Semenyo's commitment and that any outcome depends on factors beyond the club.
