‘I don’t want to know’: Manager speaks out on Liverpool interest in £100m forward | OneFootball

Liverpool to make big winger move in 2026

Mo Salah, out of contract in 2027, is expected to have new competition next season and the likes of Michael Olise and Antoine Semenyo have been linked as potential arrivals.

Hughes’ history with Semenyo could ultimately prove to be a big advantage in any chase for the 25-year-old Ghana attacker. Semenyo signed for current club Bournemouth back in 2023 when Hughes was the Cherries’ technical director.

Semenyo agreed a new contract for the south coast side over the summer and there have been varying reports over whether or not his new deal includes a release clause.

Iraola: I don't want to know

The question was put to Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola ahead of his side’s clash wtih Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.

“No, I don’t know anything about the contract of the players, I don’t know how much they earn, I don’t want to know also,” Iraola said as reported by the Bournemouth Echo.

“For me, the only thing is he continues like he is, he is playing well so there will be more noise but it is something that we take if he is playing very well, making the numbers, and is scoring.

“For us he is a valuable player but it is not my job to say these things [transfer values], fortunately for me.”

Semenyo rated at £100m

It has been suggested that Semenyo could be worth as much as £100m for the Dean Court outfit if he was to depart - with Liverpool joined by Tottenham and Manchester United in their interest.

“You want me to say this [Semenyo is a £100m player], you are trying… don’t worry I’m not going to say it,” Iraola concluded.

Semenyo has been in great form for his club this season - and hasn’t looked back since scoring two on the opening day of the campaign against Liverpool at Anfield.
