Manchester United dey look the January window with serious interest as reports don claim say the club fit move for Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo.
The 25-year-old don turn one of the most dangerous attackers for Premier League this season — only Erling Haaland and Igor Thiago get more goal contributions. Semenyo don drop six goals and three assists so far, a level wey don attract big clubs.
Even though him sign fresh five-year deal for July, the Ghana international earlier reveal say he no “feel wanted enough” to leave in the summer. But this season form don catapult am straight into transfer radar for plenty top sides.
Next month, a £65m release clause go activate for him contract — and Ghana coach Otto Addo talk am straight: “e natural for am to take the next step.”
United ‘Get the Capability’ to Pay the Clause
Liverpool dey strongly linked with Semenyo, especially after the whole Salah drama last weekend. Man City and Tottenham, too, dey monitor the situation.
But according to TEAMtalk, Manchester United get the capability to drop the £65m instantly if dem decide say Semenyo na the guy they want.
Amorim’s staff rate Semenyo highly — he fit bring that same sharp, unpredictable style wey Amad Diallo don dey deliver under the new system. United and Spurs actually chased Semenyo in the summer before talks collapse.
United vs Liverpool: Who Go Win the Race?
The real complication be say Liverpool na Semenyo’s preferred destination at the moment. Man United dey reason whether e even make sense to enter head-to-head fight with the Merseyside club.
Before Salah’s outburst put Liverpool on red alert for new attackers, United believe say dem get strong chance to sign Semenyo. But now, the Reds fit push hard for am once January open.
Still, the Red Devils dey consider triggering the clause early — just to avoid long summer bidding war and to beat their rivals once and for all.
If United go all-in for Semenyo, then the plan na to shift their search for a new midfielder until summer — which no too bad because their major midfield targets (Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton) no dey available in January anyway.
