Liverpool are reportedly plotting a January move for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo as pressure mounts on the underperforming Mohamed Salah, according to reports from journalist Mark Douglas.
The Reds are believed to be closely monitoring Semenyo’s situation after learning that the Ghanaian attacker has a release clause in his contract, a detail that could make a potential transfer more attainable in the winter window.
Semenyo has been one of Bournemouth’s standout performers this season, catching the eye with his explosive pace, pressing intensity, and ability to operate across the frontline.
His dynamic style of play has drawn comparisons to a young Sadio Mané, and Liverpool’s recruitment team sees him as an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s system.

Liverpool’s interest reportedly comes at a time when Salah’s form has dipped, prompting internal discussions about the need to refresh their attacking options ahead of next season.
The Egyptian forward, who has been the club’s talisman for years, has struggled to replicate his usual sharpness, sparking speculation about whether the club could begin planning for a long-term successor.
However, Liverpool are not alone in their pursuit. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are also said to be tracking Semenyo, whose performances have not gone unnoticed across the Premier League.
With the January transfer window fast approaching, Bournemouth could soon be forced to fend off multiple suitors for their in-form Ghanaian star, unless one of them decides to trigger his release clause first.
