With both clubs now aligned on the financial package, the 25-year-old Ghanaian attacker must decide whether his future lies at Anfield or the Etihad.
Semenyo had previously agreed to terms with Manchester City, but Liverpool’s late push has put them firmly back in contention. His £65 million release clause remains active only until January 10th, meaning any club hoping to sign him in the winter window must move quickly. A second clause, set at £60 million, will not activate until the summer.
Both clubs are working to position themselves as strongly as possible ahead of January, and a Bournemouth exit appears likely. Semenyo is not expected to rush a decision and may wait to see if additional interest emerges.
Liverpool are believed to be slightly ahead in the race, though factors such as Arne Slot’s future and the uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah could still play a role. Manchester United have also shown interest, hinting that the battle for Semenyo could intensify as the window approaches.
For now, the decision rests with Semenyo, who must choose the project that best suits his ambitions
