In a dramatic twist ahead of the January transfer window, Manchester City are reportedly poised to hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, a top target for Arne Slot. City are prepared to activate the Ghanaian forward’s £65 million release clause, catching Liverpool’s hierarchy off guard.

 

Semenyo, who has impressed this season with six Premier League goals and three assists, had been earmarked by Liverpool as a crucial reinforcement during Mohamed Salah’s expected AFCON absence. With City now intervening, Liverpool have reportedly activated a “Plan B” strategy to safeguard their winter recruitment.

 

Liverpool’s alternative targets include:

 

Kenan Yıldız (Juventus): The 18-year-old Turkish talent is a long-term investment, though Juventus are hesitant to sell mid-season.

 

 

 

Iliman Ndiaye (Everton): Seen as the most realistic short-term replacement for Semenyo, though Liverpool face challenges due to the Merseyside rivalry.

 

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich): A potential “dream signing” for 2026, though Bayern are unlikely to negotiate until next summer.

 

Liverpool Sporting Director Richard Hughes and Slot are reportedly in close talks with ownership group Fenway Sports Group to secure funds for a marquee addition. The Reds’ swift response will be key in maintaining momentum in the Premier League and Champions League, ensuring their attack remains potent even without Salah.
