Saturday, January 10, 2026 - Manchester City have signed Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in a £64m deal.
The forward joins Pep Guardiola's side on a
five-and-a-half-year contract, taking City's transfer spend in the last 12
months to £425.9m on 14 players.
The Ghana international, who will wear the No 42 shirt,
said: "My best football is yet to come, I am sure of that. And City are in
a great position - still involved in four competitions. I really feel I can
help them have a strong second half of the season."
Guardiola confirmed Semenyo will be in the match-day squad
for Saturday's FA Cup tie against Exeter.
City beat off competition from rivals Manchester United,
Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham to sign the 26-year-old.
Manchester City director of football Hugo Viana revealed:
"He [Semenyo] made it clear to us immediately that it was City he wanted
to join. His enthusiasm for this football club has been clear throughout this
process."
City agreed a deal with Bournemouth outside of Semenyo's
£65m release clause at £62.5m, plus performance-related bonuses worth £1.5m and
a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
