Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has met with Antoine Semenyo over move, with £65m release clause confirmed: report

Antoine Semenyo's £65m release clause makes him a likely summer target rather than a January mover; punters should be cautious betting on an immediate transfer and may prefer markets backing a summer switch or Manchester United to sign another forward across the next transfer window.

Manchester United circle Antoine Semenyo as transfer target after summer additions

Manchester United remain linked with Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo following the summer arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Interest persists as the club seeks to bolster attacking options and maintain momentum in the push for European qualification.

£65m release clause creates market intrigue

Bournemouth's decision to include a £65m release clause in Semenyo's contract has put the forward squarely on the radar of several top clubs. While the clause opens the door for a midseason move, the structure appears designed to trigger a bidding battle rather than guarantee an immediate January exit.

Squad role and tactical flexibility

Semenyo's pace and versatility mean he could operate across the frontline or be adapted to wider and wing-back roles if required. That positional flexibility increases his appeal to suitors hunting multi-purpose attackers to cover injuries or tactical shifts.

Timing and likely transfer window strategy

Insiders expect a summer transfer to be the most probable outcome, with clubs using January to line up deals and clear squad space before executing signings. The player retains the power to reject a midseason move, so negotiations could be steered toward a pre-arranged summer transfer rather than an immediate switch.

Market valuation and competition

Semenyo’s market value is reported to be in the mid tens of millions of euros, and interest from several top Premier League clubs is anticipated. Competition among suitors could push valuations higher if more than one heavyweight club enters the race.

Fixture note

Manchester United resume Premier League action at home to Everton after the international break, with potential transfer developments likely to dominate the club’s short-term headlines.
