Fans have been left in complete shock as Bournemouth make it clear exactly how much they want for star player Antoine Semenyo.
On Sunday afternoon, Bournemouth welcome reigning Premier League champions Manchester City to the Vitality stadium for perhaps their biggest match of the season in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Under Spanish manager Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have been enjoying a fantastic season, with star player Semenyo playing a large part in the side reaching the latter stages of the domestic competition.
Semenyo’s impressive performances throughout the season have attracted the interests of several top clubs, and Bournemouth have named their price, shocking fans.
Across 32 appearances for Bournemouth in all competitions this season, Semenyo has scored nine goals and assisted a further six, making him one of the most important parts of Iraloa’s attack.
This impressive form has reportedly attracted the interest of clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool, who could all consider a move when the summer transfer window opens in June.
But if any club hopes to pry the Ghana winger away from Bournemouth this summer, a report from The Sun claims that they will have to pay a transfer fee of £75million.
Reacting to the news, one fan wrote: “I have been vouching for him all along but this is crazy.”
While another added: “Prem clubs have gone on their valuations for average players.”
A Bournemouth fan wrote: “Sensible price. Bournemouth don’t want to sell any of our players. If you want one of them, dig very very deep.”

But an Arsenal supporter claimed: “Prices in football are actually stupid. He’s worth £40 million at a push.”
The report from The Sun claims that Bournemouth believe that their valuation of the 25-year-old is more than fair given the similar sums paid for other wingers in the Premier League who haven’t performed as well.
The €95.00million (£80m) that Manchester United paid for outcast Antony and Chelsea’s €70m (£62m), transfer fee for the now suspended Mykhailo Mudryk are just two of the examples Bournemouth believe justify their price tag for Semenyo.

Published: 18:00 30 Mar 2025 GMT+1
The Ghana winger, Antoine Semenyo, has emerged as a hot prospect, attracting attention from several top-tier clubs as the summer transfer window approaches.
Football fans are reacting with disbelief after Bournemouth reportedly announced their hefty valuation for star attacker Antoine Semenyo.
Bournemouth are gearing up to host Manchester City, the current Premier League title holders, in a highly anticipated FA Cup quarter-final clash at the Vitality Stadium. This fixture is arguably their most significant game of the season.
Under the tactical guidance of Spanish coach Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth have exceeded expectations this season. A key contributor to their success, particularly in their FA Cup journey, has been the standout performances of Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo's dazzling displays throughout the campaign haven't gone unnoticed, with whispers of interest emanating from several prominent clubs. Now, Bournemouth have allegedly set their asking price, and it has sent ripples of shockwaves throughout the football community.
The 25-year-old Ghana international has been instrumental in Bournemouth's attacking prowess this season. In 32 appearances across all competitions, Semenyo has notched up an impressive nine goals and provided six assists, firmly establishing himself as a vital cog in Iraola's offensive setup.
His stellar form has reportedly captured the attention of Premier League giants, including:
- Tottenham Hotspur
- Chelsea
- Liverpool
These clubs are rumored to be contemplating a summer swoop for the talented winger when the transfer window reopens in June, aiming to bolster their attacking options.
However, according to a report published by The Sun, any club serious about securing Semenyo's signature will need to fork out a staggering £75 million transfer fee.
Fan Reactions to Semenyo's Price Tag
The reported £75 million valuation has sparked a flurry of reactions online from football supporters. Here are a few examples:
- One fan commented: "I have been vouching for him, but £75 million is simply crazy!"
- Another fan remarked: "Premier League clubs are overvaluing even average players these days."
- A Bournemouth supporter stated: "Sensible price. We are not looking to sell our key players. If you desire one, be prepared to pay a premium."
- An Arsenal fan argued: "Football transfer prices are becoming ridiculous. He’s maybe worth £40 million at most."
Bournemouth, however, reportedly defend their price tag, arguing that it is justified when compared to fees paid for other wingers in the Premier League, even those who haven't matched Semenyo's performance levels.
They reportedly point to instances such as:
- Manchester United's £80 million acquisition of Antony (€95 million).
- Chelsea's £62 million investment in Mykhailo Mudryk (€70 million).
Bournemouth believe these examples demonstrate the current market value for wingers, bolstering their confidence in their £75 million valuation for Semenyo.
