Manchester City are set to open direct talks with Bournemouth this week over a potential move for forward Antoine Semenyo.
The Ghana international has a £65 million release clause that remains valid until January 10. However, City are expected to approach Bournemouth to explore the possibility of an alternative deal structure, including adjusted payment terms, rather than triggering the clause outright.
Sources indicate that Semenyo is keen on a move to the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City understood to be his preferred destination should negotiations progress.
