Antoine Semenyo, the 25-year-old Ghanaian striker for Bournemouth, has a £65m release clause that will become active in January 2025, according to Sky Sports News. The clause is structured at £60m with an additional £5m in add-ons, but its activation is limited to a specific deadline within the winter transfer window. Furthermore, the financial threshold for the clause is set to decrease to £50m during the 2026 summer transfer period.
Following his acquisition from Bristol City in January 2023 for approximately £10m, Semenyo’s former club is poised to receive 20% of any profit from his potential sale. Despite persistent transfer speculation, the forward has not actively pursued a move, expressing confidence in securing a transfer through performance and the release clause’s terms.
Semenyo’s recent form has been exceptional, netting six Premier League goals this season and contributing 11 league goals and five assists during the previous campaign. However, his international duty with Ghana took a setback as he returned injured after a ligament sprain sustained during a 2-0 loss to Japan. The Cherries are currently evaluating his fitness ahead of a crucial clash with West Ham United, which could determine their position in the league table.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Semenyo addressed the rumors surrounding his future. “I don’t think about it too much,” he said. “I try to stay present, focus on my performance, and let the results speak for themselves.” His comments underscored his commitment to Bournemouth, where he feels the club’s ambitious plans and his own progress align perfectly.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has acknowledged the heightened interest in Semenyo, stating that his performance over the next few months will influence the scale of clubs vying for his signature. While the release clause remains a pivotal factor, Semenyo’s on-field contributions continue to fuel speculation about his eventual destination.
