Liverpool Face a Growing Transfer Dilemma Over Antoine Semenyo
Liverpoolโs recruitment team are weighing up a significant decision: whether to move for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo in January, or wait until the summer โ a choice that could shape their attacking options for next season and beyond.
According to The i Paper, the club have been tracking Semenyoโs impressive rise at Bournemouth, where his explosive pace, work rate, and ability to operate across the front line have made him one of the Premier Leagueโs most dynamic wide forwards.
January or Summer? The Internal Debate
Inside Liverpool, there are two schools of thought:
๐ด Move in January:
- Could provide immediate depth as the club prepares for a demanding winter schedule.
- Would help ease pressure during Mohamed Salahโs absence, depending on how long AFCON commitments last.
- Risks paying a premium mid-season when Bournemouth have little incentive to sell.
๐ด Wait for the Summer:
- Gives Liverpool more time to assess squad needs under Arne Slot.
- Allows a clearer picture of outgoing transfers.
- But risks other clubs entering the race for Semenyo if his form continues to rise.
A Player on Liverpoolโs Radar
Semenyo has long been admired for his power, direct style, and ability to create chaos in attacking transitions โ traits historically valued in Liverpoolโs system. With his development accelerating this season, the question isnโt if a move will happen, but when Liverpool should strike.
What Happens Next?
Liverpoolโs decision hinges on winter squad dynamics, injury situations, and the clubโs forward planning under their new football structure.
Whether in January or July, Semenyo remains a player firmly in their sights โ and the race for his signature could intensify quickly.
