The Black Stars forward demands clarity by New Year’s Day, with Premier League giants circling a multi-billion shilling release clause.

The clock is ticking for Antoine Semenyo, with the Ghanaian marksman demanding his blockbuster transfer be sealed before the New Year’s fireworks begin.
Entering a critical 48-hour window, the Bournemouth attacker is reportedly eager to conclude his departure by 1 January, setting the stage for one of the winter window's most expensive moves.

Reports from BBC Sport indicate that negotiations between the Premier League champions and Semenyo’s camp are already at an advanced stage. It is understood that further talks are scheduled within the next two days, with City executives keen to finalize the deal swiftly.
Pep Guardiola’s side remains the only club to have established formal club-to-club contact with Bournemouth. This proactive approach has given them a significant head start over their rivals.

While the two titans lead the pack, Semenyo’s form has attracted a host of suitors desperate for attacking reinforcements. The Ghana international is reportedly on the radar of several top-tier clubs:
For Semenyo, the priority is clear: certainty. As the transfer window prepares to swing open on Wednesday, the forward’s patience appears to be the only thing in short supply.
