Semenyo to Arsenal?

[Porto Red]

Can't see it mentioned anywhere and no idea of reliability of source but apparently interested along with Spurs:

Six posts in and nobody’s mentioned Andy Cole, which feels a miss.

A certain podcast will be on to it, don’t worry.

Antoine strongly linked with Newcastle earlier this week which seems more likely (& yes, we do have a sell on clause)..

[Midlands Robin]

Watching his performances on match of the day highlights just how much he has come on. I guess playing alongside and against better players has really helped.

I still wish him every success and would love to see him step up again into a top six side. 

[Kodjias Wrist]

So what are we saying 40/50mill? 
 

20% of sell on or sell on of profit seems a tasty amount. All ready for Manning’s replacements replacement to spend…….

More than that, didn’t Solanke go for £60m?

[Lew-T]

Hasn’t he recently signed a new deal at Bournemouth aswell?

£40m would be my guess.

It is sell on based on profit, so 20% is around £6m, good but not a game changer.

Awww we could buy another midfielder bit short there.

We definitely do.

We'll just waste it though.

[Fammyfan]

He’s really come on in terms of goal involvements and is very highly thought of.

Being a 24 year old that’s recently signed a new long contact, Bournemouth would be foolish to take anything less than £50m.

I hope he gets a move to Arsenal, both for him and for Bristol City.

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Given our record with sell-on clauses I wouldn't get too excited. I expect that there would be some sort of deal, player exchange or the like, that would mean in cash terms he'd depart for less than they paid us so we'll end up with nothing. 

[Smith]

We could use the money to pay off our manager

One site suggested a Buyout Clause of £40m.

Double edged sword potentially.

Will mean he should go for more if he goes, but it may not mean that he goes as soon as we hope- barring a Buyout Clause of course.

[Mr Popodopolous]

A Sell-On I reckon would be somewhere between 15-25% of Profit, can't see it being notably higher or lower.

More money available for the Sporting Quarter development.

Thought the sale of Homes was funding that?

That said, it could be one of many uses..

*Sporting Quarter

*Enable SL to reduce his Cash Flow for a couple of years.

*Maybe use it to reduce the £90m debt to SL.

Or keep levels the same and put the kitty into the side, over 2-3 years to spread the risk but still help the side- that would be ideal.

Deserves to play top 6. A talent we were truly fortunate to see play for us, and we signed him from SGS!

I was tongue in cheek Mr. P.

I just hope we don't give any more funds to Manning to spend.

I still think barring a buyout clause, it isn't likely to be this side of Summer 2026. 5 years left, even then 3 years left.

Can't get excited about whether there's a sell on or not. It won't be used wisely 

[RedJim]

Loved watching Antoine for us and pleased to seeing him do so well. Really likeable lad too. Would love to see him go to Arsenal, sell on clause or not. We miss him!

You might be right. However I still think he could be gone sooner depending on form and injuries at one of the really big clubs. Also of course if he stays fit. 
 

Do any of the big boys care about the difference between 40 or 50m? The Solanke price has kind of set a benchmark However. Semenyo is much more involved and frightens the crap out of defenders.

But plays off the right where they have Saka. I doubt he'd get much game time.

Summer 2026 should see Manning (and Tinnion) long gone if there is any money coming our way. 

[Gol]

Liverpool, Newcastle and Spurs also reported to be interested

I'm just thinking, that barring a Buyout Bournemouth control the schedule in a lot of ways. 

FFP could also be a factor for Bournemouth.

It will suit us too in a sense as the Scott initial fee drops off post 30th June 2026. 3 years for the FFP cycle.

Of course if we get up, it's all moot but they should be gone by then surely and we can spend it more widely.

Not got one = Something you can slag the club off about

[AG City]

Plenty of transfer speculation over the past couple of days linking him with a January move to Arsenal and Newcastle for circa £40m.

Am I correct in thinking we have a 20% sell on clause?

If a sell on clause it'll be of Profit.

Only if they're is a buyout clause will be go a) At That price and b) As soon as speculated IMO.

No by your clause and he's contracted until Summer 2029.
