MU competes to sign star worth 65 million pounds, immediately gives favorite shirt number

MU is racing to sign rising star Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth for £65 million in the January 2026 transfer window, ready to immediately hand over his favorite shirt number.

Mirror newspaper reported that MU is planning to recruit winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in the winter transfer window - January 2026.

This source added that to attract Semenyo - who is attracting many European 'big guys', MU is willing to give him his favorite shirt number - number 24.

This is the number currently worn by Andre Onana, but the Cameroon goalkeeper is currently on loan at Trabzonspor (Türkiye) until the end of the season. Therefore, if Antoine Semenyo wants, MU will immediately change the number 24.

Antoine Semenyo, 25, has scored 6 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League this season. The Ghana star is increasingly rumored to join MU in the mid-season transfer.

According to Mirror, when signing a contract extension with Bournemouth (until 2030) in the summer, Antoine Semenyo included a £65 million release clause in his contract, making it easier to leave if the opportunity arises.

The above price is considered quite realistic for teams with big spending. However, it remains to be seen whether MU is willing to spend such a significant amount - 65 million pounds, in the winter market (January 2026), after spending about 200 million pounds to bring Mbeumo, Cunha and Sesko in the summer.

Antoine Semenyo is highly appreciated for his versatility, being able to play many different positions in attack, including the number 10 role.

If signing the Ghana star, MU will still have his service during CAN 2025 (from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026), because this team did not win a ticket to participate.
