Antoine Semenyo set to decide next club today as Man United and Man City lead the way | OneFootball

Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo could reportedly reach a decision over his future as early as today, with Manchester United and Manchester City the leading candidates to snap him up.

United want Semenyo

Semenyo’s transfer situation has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few weeks after it emerged that he has a £65m that can be triggered in early January.

United explored the signing of Semenyo during the summer transfer window following an outstanding 2024/25 season in which he plundered a career-high 11 goals in 37 Premier League appearances. However, United pulled out of a deal after learning of Bournemouth’s prohibitive asking price.

The Red Devils have nonetheless sustained their pursuit of the Ghanaian, with their interest intensifying due to his electrifying form this season. Boasting eight goals and three assists, he also found the net against United in the recent memorable 4-4 draw.

Ruben Amorim has repeatedly spoken glowingly of Semenyo’s attributes and United are believed to be preparing a swoop when the winter window commences.

However, they’re not the only Premier League club chasing him, with City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also keeping close tabs on the situation.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Semenyo has no desire to join Spurs.

City and United are thought to be the leading candidates to land Semenyo – a claim that has now been reiterated by Sky Sports, who further note that Semenyo could pick his next destination as early as today.

Semenyo transfer update

Sky say, “Sky Sports News understands that Antoine Semenyo could make a decision on his future today.”

“Manchester United and Manchester City are still ahead of other clubs and remain neck-and-neck for his signature. But Liverpool remain interested and are understood to be considering their options in the wake of Alexander Isak’s injury.”

“Tottenham made a bid for the player in the summer but are now believed to be focused on other targets.”

United are next in action on Saturday when they welcome Newcastle to Old Trafford.
