Manchester City are poised to secure the high-stakes signing of Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo in a deal worth around £65 million, sources tell Sky Sports and The Vanguard. The Ghanaian forward is scheduled to undergo a medical with the Premier League champions on Thursday as part of the final steps before his move to the Etihad Stadium is confirmed.

City have agreed in principle to meet the release clause in Semenyo’s contract — reportedly active only during the first half of the January window — and discussions are understood to have progressed rapidly in recent days. The move is expected to be wrapped up before the weekend, making it one of the January window’s headline deals.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has hinted that Semenyo’s appearance in Wednesday’s clash against Spurs could be his final game for the club, as speculation reaches fever pitch.

Meanwhile, City are juggling squad challenges, including injuries in defence, giving added context to their push for fresh attacking firepower this month.

Sources across the transfer landscape have linked Semenyo with several top clubs — including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham in recent weeks — but it is Pep Guardiola’s side that appears closest to winning the race for his signature.
