The 28-year-old has scored seven goals and registered 11 assists in 23 games since joining on loan from Manchester United, and Barca can reportedly sign him for just €29.7 million next summer.
Manchester City, United, Liverpool and Tottenham have all opened talks with Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo over a January transfer. The Ghana international, 25, has a €74.2 million release clause in his contract that expires on January 10, 2026.
