Manchester City, currently vying for the Premier League championship, has finalized what many consider the most impactful acquisition of the January transfer period, securing the services of Bournemouth’s wide attacker, Antoine Semenyo.
The twenty-five-year-old prolific winger joins the squad at the Etihad Stadium, aiming to assist Pep Guardiola’s side in prevailing during their intensely competitive league championship pursuit against fellow contenders, Arsenal.
His transfer commanded a sum of 75 million euros, with Bournemouth securing a ten percent future sell-on fee from any subsequent transfer.
Recognized as one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking talents over the last couple of campaigns, Semenyo’s remarkable ascent in the sport began with an impressive breakthrough season at Bristol City during 2021/22, followed by an outstanding debut full season with Bournemouth two years subsequent to that.
Operating under the tactical direction of Bournemouth’s manager, Andoni Iraola, the forward, who hails from London, has displayed his peak performance, netting 11 goals throughout the 2024/25 season, and appears set to approach the 20-goal milestone in the ongoing 2025/26 season.
Now that the transfer has been finalized, City boasts an enhanced attacking roster, featuring talents such as Erling Haaland, Omar Marmoush, Jérémy Doku, Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden, and, currently, Oscar Bobb and Savinho.
