Liverpool ‘Agree Personal Terms’ With Antoine Semenyo
Liverpool must pull out all the stops to complete a deal for Antoine Semenyo in January.
The Reds have endured a disappointing campaign by their own high standards and currently sit sixth in the Premier League after winning just eight of their 16 games so far.
While Hugo Ekitike has made a strong start to life at Anfield, Alexander Isak is yet to meet expectations in Red, while uncertainty continues to swirl around Mohamed Salah following his stunning outburst following the clash with Leeds United earlier this month.
As a result, Arne Slot is looking for attacking reinforcements and may regret if he doesn’t sign the man he wants.
Liverpool Must Wrap Up Semenyo Deal
Liverpool are clearly keen to address their offensive woes with the addition of Antoine Semenyo. Reports have suggested that the Reds have agreed terms with the Bournemouth star with a view to a move in January.
Having signed a new deal over the summer, Semenyo’s contract includes a £65million release clause which becomes active on January 1. Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham are all keen on a deal.
The next step will be triggering the release clause and then, crucially, convincing the 25-year-old that his future lies at Anfield and not elsewhere.
Arne Slot Needs Semenyo Deal To Come Off
Make no mistake, the signing of Antoine Semenyo could be make-or-break for Arne Slot’s hopes of keeping his job. Things haven’t been good enough under Slot at Liverpool this term and it already feels like the vultures are circling with regards to his future.
After a summer of huge summer spend, the Dutch boss is failing to get a consistent tune out of his players and that is a massive problem. That’s why Semenyo is a must-buy for Liverpool.
Semenyo, who has been described as “world-class”, is among the best forwards in the Premier league this term and crucially, he would be a perfect fit for Liverpool’s system.
A striker, who can also play off the left or right flank, Semenyo’s versatility is a massive plus and could be huge for the Reds in the months ahead.
The 25-year-old has already scored seven goals in 16 games this term, providing three assists in the process. This comes after a 2023/24 season in which he scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 42 games.
Given his quality and versatility, Liverpool need to wrap up this signing – both for the sake of their team and ensuring that they don’t regret letting him join a rival.

Liverpool should be targeting two other ‘world-class’ players instead of pursuing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo.
