Bournemouth rejected £50m offers from Manchester United and Tottenham for Antoine Semenyo
Bournemouth turned down £50 million bids from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur for Antoine Semenyo in the summer, per The Telegraph’s Jason Burt .
Semenyo signed a five-year contract with the Cherries in July, with his deal including a release clause.
Despite penning a new contract, Bournemouth do not expect the 25-year-old to stay for long at the Vitality Stadium.
In fact, the forward could be sold next summer, but the English club want to do it on its own terms.
Semenyo has been in the form of his life this campaign, netting six goals and providing three assists in eight Premier League matches.
His contributions have been key to helping Bournemouth make an impressive start to the season.
Andoni Iraola’s side sit fifth in the league standings ahead of their home fixture with Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Semenyo is an academy graduate of Bristol City, where he rose through the ranks to make 125 senior appearances and score 21 goals.
His excellent performances in the Championship convinced the Cherries to splash £10m to secure his services in January, 2023.
Semenyo hit the ground running at the Vitality Stadium, scoring 28 goals and creating 13 assists in 98 matches across all competitions.
He played a pivotal role in helping Bournemouth secure a ninth-place Premier League finish last season, making 17 goal contributions in 37 fixtures.
