Semenyo has been in outstanding form, attracting serious attention from clubs including Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Both sides are believed to be monitoring the situation closely as speculation builds over the existence - and size - of a potential buyout clause.
Sources have insisted that Tottenham’s intent is genuine, with the club eager to explore a possible deal. Liverpool’s interest has also been growing.
The situation is complicated by the fact that Semenyo signed a new contract with Bournemouth during the summer.
Cherries sources have tried to keep a lid on further speculation around a future exit - previously hinting that no release clause was included. However, there has been a sense of skepticism around that stance in football circles - and rival recruitment departments are trying to uncover the full reality of his agreement.
Bournemouth are understood to be working to protect their position, aware that Semenyo’s value continues to rise. Yet there are now reports that a clause could, in fact, exist.
While nothing has been confirmed, our insiders believe the figure could fall in the region of £60–70 million.
If that proves accurate, Bournemouth face a huge challenge to keep hold of their star man long-term.
With Spurs and Liverpool both on alert, the race to uncover the truth behind Semenyo’s contract has become one of the most intriguing storylines in the transfer world.
