Premier League star ‘leave’ in January after Liverpool say ‘£70m offer’ for winger

Liverpool target Antonin Semino has reportedly asked to leave Bournemouth in the January transfer window following an approach from the Reds.

The Reds’ quality has been up to its standard with Arnslot’s defending champions losing five of their first 11 Premier League matches.

When things looked up early in the campaign Liverpool Won five of their opening five games – but have since lost five of their last six Premier League fixtures.

Scoring hasn’t really been a problem for the Reds, although Mohamed Salah and some of his fellow forwards haven’t been on top form so far this term.

But there are rumors that Liverpool could enter the transfer market to sign a new winger, as well as a centre-back to help shore up their leaky defence.

This was claimed in a report last week That the Reds are preparing an ’80m (£70m) offer’ from Bournemouth in the January transfer window to sign Semino – who can play on either wing.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano insisted last week that it was “highly unlikely” that Bournemouth would allow Semino to leave in the middle of the season.

Romano said Market Madness Podcast by Gavimsport: “I don’t think it’s going to be a mid-season departure, I don’t think it’s going to happen with Liverpool.

“I think Liverpool are going to be very quiet in the January window. In the summer, it could be different.

“I still want to respect Bournemouth, let them enjoy the player. It’s still November and they’re not planning for him to go in January.

“There is a lot of interest in the player and there is a release clause, so it is a very interesting situation but I think it is for the summer window. For January, it is very unlikely.”

But now a reliable one x The account, which has ‘Five Elite Reporters’ and 684K followers, claims that Seminyo has now requested to leave Bournemouth in the winter.

Former England and Newcastle United winger Chris Waddle believes Semino is the “best” winger in the Premier League at the moment.

Waddell recently said: “Bournemouth’s winger, Anton Semino, is definitely the best (in the Premier League) right now.

“Semenio is good at scoring goals, he is positive, and he gets good goals. When he gets the ball, he runs at players.

“I think Bournemouth will struggle to keep him. He’s really talented, and the best winger in the country right now.

“People may question why anyone would want to join Manchester United now, but they will be good again, and they are still a big club.

If Seminyo went to United, he could play like he has for Bournemouth and be ideal for them.

“He could play with Mathis Cunha, and then he and Benjamin Cisco could go on in life.

“You can see a real team developing, especially with Bruno Fernandes at the back. There’s still a lot to do, but I can see them building a team there.

“He’s the type of player that United fans will love, and it will be a great acquisition, but he won’t come cheap.”
