According to The Pitch Prospect, Bournemouth expect Antoine Semenyo’s move to Manchester City to be formalized in the next 48 hours.
Clubs held positive discussions today over the structure of payments that will trigger the winger’s release clause of £60m plus add-ons.

Semenyo has already verbally agreed personal terms with City as he preferred a move there over other Premier League teams.
He is currently expected to feature in Bournemouth’s game against Chelsea on Tuesday, in what could be his farewell appearance.
The Blues were desperate to make a move but backed out for Semenyo, who is now close to a move to the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the Ghana international.
The Pitch Prospect had previously reported that his release clause must be activated in the first ten days of the transfer window.
Semenyo will be a marker for City in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Bournemouth host Pep Guardiola’s side on the penultimate weekend of the season and could be champions by then.
Semenyo’s season so far
After scoring 13 goals and assisting seven more goals in all competitions last season, Semenyo has made a great start to the current campaign.
He scored twice in the opening game against Liverpool, although Bournemouth lost 4-2 at Anfield.
More to come…
