Antoine Semenyo’s transfer from Bournemouth to Manchester City is in the final stages. According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have already finalized the deal and exchanged the necessary documents.
The striker’s transfer to the Citizens is expected to be officially announced after medical examinations, which are scheduled for Thursday. He had offers from four other clubs in England, but chose Manchester City because he wants to work with Pep Guardiola.
Earlier reports suggested that the transfer fee for Semenyo would reach £65 million, and that the player himself would receive a weekly salary of £150,000.
This season in the Premier League, the Ghanaian international has played 19 games for Bournemouth, scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists.
