It's a release clause so only if they're taking Kalvin Phillips as wellWe pay £65M plus Ake on a free to sweeten the deal?

Antoine Semenyo: Manchester City in advanced talks with Bournemouth forward
Antoine Semenyo is set to make a final decision on his future with Manchester City in advanced talks over a January move for the Bournemouth forward.www.bbc.co.uk

If Doku stays fit, he has nothing to worry about. The issue for Doku is staying fit...Semenyo is a good player and having a fantastic season, no doubt. But don't like this transfer for us.
I assume he would join as a rotation player for this season with a view to pushing into the first team next year. But what signal does this send to Doku who's in the form of his life and only just now has made the position his own?
This signing would have made more sense had we sold Savinho for £65m in August to Tottenham like we should have. Right now, it risks squad harmony to add further depth in a position where there's a lot of it elsewhere
Demoralising for Doku, pushes out Marmoush, adds complications for Foden & Cherki, further reduces Savinho's gametime and Bobb's opportunities without improving our best XI
Looking forward to the Arse fans coming out of their latest own goal win to discover that we're about to strengthen for the important half of the season. Merry Christmas, Tarquin
Are you implying he doesn’t like Ake’s piano playing (and wants him off) because a release clause means if it’s met it’s the player’s decisionIf several clubs meet the release clause, we have an ace up our sleeve
Was same on here earliervery funny to see fans of all the clubs he's rejected suddenly talking about how mediocre he is
We pay £65M plus Ake on a free to sweeten the deal?
Damien is always good for info to be fair to himFeel sorry for Damien..
4.30 City moving on
Everyone….
7.30 City clear favouites
He couldn’t have timed that much worse!
Doku Haaland Semenyo front three that’s scary. In transitions now that’s a defenders nightmare.
With Cherki and Foden behind creating for them.
Will either be a cheap deal or a loan with an option. Expect it to be similar to Akanji to be honest.Ake has another year left after this. Not going anywhere for free.
He’s “playing the right notes just not necessarily in the right order” hmmmmDamien is always good for info to be fair to him
