Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League, drawing strong interest from clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Liverpool, while his home club is set on a valuation that could prove prohibitive.
Earlier this summer, Semenyo signed a new five-year contract with Bournemouth, signaling the club’s intent to keep their star winger and ward off suitors. The deal, announced in July 2025, locks him in until 2030 and strengthens the Cherries’ hand in any negotiation.
The valuation being placed on Semenyo ranges between £65 million and £75 million, with recent reports even suggesting that for clubs like Tottenham to succeed, they may need to break their club transfer record. Bournemouth are understood to be holding firm.
Manchester United have reportedly been monitoring the situation closely. Sources suggest they are “prepared to pay big”, but early conversations indicate they are unwilling to match Bournemouth’s most ambitious valuation. On the pitch, Semenyo has done little to diminish his stock—he has started the 2025-26 campaign in excellent form, scoring regularly and contributing assists, increasing both his leverage and market value.
Meanwhile Tottenham, under their new structure and with European ambitions, are among the clubs that “have stepped up their interest.” But according to insiders, the asking price remains a major barrier. There are no signs yet of a formal bid meeting Bournemouth’s demands.
In short, Bournemouth are braced—ready to resist summer pressure—until a suitable offer emerges. For Semenyo, the window may also influence his career trajectory: playing consistently and helping Bournemouth in league and cup competitions will either confirm his readiness for a major club move or strengthen Cherries’ resolve to retain him.
