Antoine Semenyo to be Manchester City player in the next days
7th January 2026
Antoine Semenyo is on the verge of completing a high-profile move to Manchester City, with the Ghana forward expected to be confirmed as a City player in the coming days.
The deal, understood to be worth £60m paid over three years, includes a further £5m in performance-related bonuses, taking the total package to £65m. Semenyo is set to sign a long-term contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until June 2030, with an option to extend for a further year.
As part of the agreement with Bournemouth, Manchester City have allowed the 25-year-old to remain available for key Premier League fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur before the transfer is formally completed.
Semenyo’s rise has been one of the standout stories of the season. The powerful and versatile attacker has impressed with his pace, strength and work rate, making himself a central figure for both club and country.
The move represents a significant milestone for the Ghana international, who would join one of Europe’s most successful sides under Pep Guardiola, regularly competing for domestic titles and the Champions League.
Neither club has yet made an official announcement, but all the major elements of the deal are now in place. Once finalised, Semenyo’s transfer will rank among the most expensive transfers involving a Ghanaian player, underlining his growing status in the game.
For Manchester City, the signing adds another dynamic attacking option, while for Semenyo, it marks the start of a new chapter at the highest level of European football.
