UPDATE: In a significant development, Antoine Semenyo is now a prime target for top Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United. Reports confirm that his current contract with Bournemouth includes a staggering £65 million release clause that can be triggered in the first two weeks of the winter transfer window.
This news comes on the heels of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur showing interest in the talented forward over the summer. With Liverpool and Manchester City also reportedly eyeing the 25-year-old Ghana international, Semenyo’s market value is set to soar.
Currently, Semenyo earns approximately £75,000 per week, plus bonuses that bring his total to about £93,750. This makes him one of the highest-paid players at Bournemouth, behind only Justin Kluivert and Evanilson. However, should he make the move to either Liverpool or Manchester United, his earnings could skyrocket.
For context, Cody Gakpo, a fellow winger at Liverpool, earns around £250,000 per week, highlighting the potential significant pay increase Semenyo could see. While Liverpool may hesitate to offer such a leap in salary without justification, the competition for his signature could force their hand.
At Manchester United, Bryan Mbeumo serves as a relevant benchmark. The Cameroonian forward moved to United for a fee similar to Semenyo’s release clause, earning a base salary of £150,000 per week. A transfer to either club would undoubtedly elevate Semenyo’s financial standing far beyond his current contract.
Reflecting on his time at Bristol City, Semenyo’s earnings were significantly lower. In his final year at the club, he was making just £2,500 per week, which translates to around £130,000 annually. In just three years, Semenyo’s potential weekly wage could exceed his entire yearly income from Bristol City by a staggering margin.
With the winter transfer window fast approaching, Semenyo’s future remains uncertain but exciting. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring developments regarding his potential transfer, as he is expected to be a key player in the upcoming football season.
