Antoine Semenyo Scheduled for Manchester City Medical as Transfer Nears Completion
Manchester City are edging closer to finalising the signing of Antoine Semenyo, with the Bournemouth forward now booked in for a medical ahead of his anticipated move to the Etihad Stadium.
According to an exclusive update from Sky Sports News reporter Lyall Thomas, Semenyo is due to undergo his Manchester City medical on Thursday, signalling that the transfer is entering its final stages.
Timing Hinges on Tottenham Fixture
Formal processes surrounding the deal are expected to move forward once Bournemouth complete their Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
Cherries head coach Andoni Iraola has already confirmed that Semenyo will feature in that match, but conceded that it could represent the Ghana international’s final appearance for the south coast club.
“He is going to play,” Iraola confirmed, while acknowledging that the situation could change quickly afterwards.
Sky Sports News understands that this is indeed likely to be Semenyo’s farewell outing for Bournemouth, with all major aspects of the deal already agreed in principle between the two clubs.
Release Clause Deadline Adds Urgency
A key factor accelerating the timeline is Semenyo’s release clause, which is valued at £65 million and is set to expire on Friday.
Manchester City have been working to ensure all remaining formalities are completed before that deadline, allowing the Premier League champions to secure a player identified by Pep Guardiola as a high-impact addition capable of strengthening the attacking unit immediately.
From the player’s perspective, the move represents a significant step forward, offering the opportunity to compete for major honours under one of world football’s most demanding and decorated managers.
Conclusion
With a medical booked, terms agreed in principle, and Bournemouth preparing for life beyond their star forward, Antoine Semenyo’s long-anticipated switch to Manchester City appears to be on the brink of completion. Should all proceed as expected after Wednesday night’s fixture, City supporters may soon see the Ghana international unveiled in sky blue.
