Liverpool supporters have been buzzing on social media following a significant update regarding potential transfer target Antoine Semenyo. The Bournemouth winger has attracted attention as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, alongside Newcastle’s Antony Gordon, as Liverpool look to strengthen their attacking options.
With Luis Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich leaving a noticeable gap on the flanks, manager Arne Slot could be considering Semenyo as a solution. The 25-year-old has impressed this season, notably scoring twice against Liverpool at Anfield on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.
Recent reports have revealed that Semenyo, who signed a new contract with Bournemouth in July, now has a release clause. According to David Ornstein, Bournemouth may have limited power to prevent a move in January. The release clause is set at £65 million and must be activated by a specified date, giving the club time to find a replacement. A similar clause applies in the summer at a lower price.
Fans’ reactions have been mixed. Some believe Liverpool should move quickly to secure Semenyo at this price, while others argue the club should prioritize defensive reinforcements over attacking signings. Social media reflects this divide, with supporters debating whether adding another winger is the right move given the team’s need for a centre-back and defensive midfielder.
Despite differing opinions, there is consensus that Semenyo represents a strong opportunity in the current market, and Liverpool will face competition from multiple clubs if they decide to pursue him
