Antoine Semenyo Set for £65m Move to Manchester City After Medical

Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo is scheduled to undergo a medical assessment at Manchester City on Thursday, marking the final stage of his highly anticipated £65 million transfer from Bournemouth.

The transfer, which will bring the versatile forward to the Premier League champions, is expected to be finalized shortly after Bournemouth’s Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Semenyo will feature in the match, although it may be his last appearance for the Cherries.

With a £65 million release clause in his contract, Semenyo has been the subject of intense interest from several top Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea, prior to Christmas. However, Manchester City have formalized their move by triggering the clause.

This acquisition represents a significant coup for Manchester City, as they bolster their attacking depth with a player known for his versatility and physicality.

Semenyo’s ability to operate across the front line will provide manager Pep Guardiola with tactical flexibility in his pursuit of additional silverware.
