Liverpool and Bournemouth Consider Transfer Involving Ben Doak and Antoine Semenyo
Liverpool Football Club are exploring a potential transfer that could see Ben Doak move to Bournemouth in exchange for Antoine Semenyo, as both clubs assess their squad needs in the January transfer window.
Liverpool Football Club are reportedly contemplating a transfer that could see Ben Doak involved in a deal to bring Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo to Anfield. According to The Mirror, Bournemouth have shown considerable interest in acquiring the 19-year-old Doak, who has been making a notable impact during his loan spell at Middlesbrough.
Semenyo, a 25-year-old Ghana international, has established himself as a pivotal player for Bournemouth, contributing to their push for European qualification under manager Andoni Iraola. His impressive form has led Bournemouth to set a substantial price tag of £50 million on Semenyo.
While discussions between Liverpool and Bournemouth may not materialise until the summer, Doak's rising profile could facilitate potential negotiations. The Sun estimates Doak's market value at around £30 million, which could help offset the financial implications of acquiring Semenyo. Bournemouth view Doak as an ideal candidate to replace Semenyo should he depart, reflecting their assessment of his potential.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has fewer options on the right wing, particularly if Mohamed Salah opts not to renew his contract, potentially leaving at the end of the season. This situation has reportedly intensified the club's interest in Semenyo, who has scored five goals and provided two assists in 19 league appearances this term, attracting attention from clubs like Newcastle United.
