5:23am, 4 July 2025【Football】

Bornemouth winger renews his contract for five years

Bornemouth winger Antoine Semenho has signed a new five-year contract after rumored to have an affair with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and other clubs. Semenho performed well in the 2024-25 season, scoring 11 goals and 6 assists in 37 Premier League games, helping Bournemouth eventually enter the first half of the league. The attacker's impressive performance has sparked rumors of a transfer that may leave the Vitality Stadium this summer. Tottenham had asked about the possibility of a transfer, and Manchester United was also considered one of the clubs interested in him. However, there have been recent reports that Manchester United and Tottenham have cooled down after being "dissuaded" by Bournemouth. Semeno, who had previously had contact with Liverpool, has now officially signed a new contract with Bournemouth, which actually ends speculation about his departure this summer. The Ghanaian player has four years left on his original contract, and now he has signed a brand new five-year contract that will last until the summer of 2030. Cherry League coach Andoni Ilaura will surely be relieved to finalize Semenho's future - he has watched two core players leave this summer: central defender Dean Huyson joins Real Madrid for £50 million, and left-back Milos Kerkez recently transferred to Liverpool for £40 million. As Semenho is determined to stay in the team, Tottenham will turn their attention to other attacking targets to strengthen the lineup for the new coach Thomas Frank's first season. On the other hand, Manchester United no longer pursues Semeno and instead makes every effort to sign Brentford star Brian Mbeumo.

Portuguese magic striker approaches to join the Gunners

According to reports, Arsenal is in deep negotiations with Ecres to sign the Portuguese sports forward. The Gunners have previously listed Ecres and Leipzig scorer Benjamin Cesco as the number one striker's signing target. However, the differences between players and current clubs have complicated Arsenal's pursuit. The contract of Ecres contains a 100 million euro termination clause, but he believes that there is a "gentleman agreement" between the two parties - leaving the team at a price of 60 million euros of basic transfer fee plus 10 million euros of floating clause. Portugal Sports President Federico Valandas denied the existence of the agreement, but admitted that the striker was "very likely" to leave the team this summer. Valandas also confirmed that it would not accept a quotation of 70 million euros, but also said that it would not forcefully activate the termination clause. According to British media, Arsenal is accelerating the transfer of the Swedish international. The negotiations with Portugal Sports have entered the "in-depth stage" and the Gunners are confident of reaching an agreement. North London team has agreed with Uecres on a five-year contract. As the process of introducing Ecres progresses, Arsenal appears to be fading out of its potential pursuit of Sesco. The injury between Kay Havertz and Gabriel Jesus last season exposed the problem of insufficient forward depth, and coach Mikel Arteta is eager to sign the new No. 9. The Gunners also believe that introducing a prolific striker will help the team strive for its first Premier League championship since the 2003-04 season. Yu Ecres showed his true nature as a scorer during his two years at Portugal Sports: he scored 43 goals in 50 official games in 2023-24, and last season he scored 54 goals in 52 games in various competitions, including 39 goals in 33 Super League games. His goals played a key role in Portugal Sports' two consecutive league titles and winning the Portuguese Cup.

Bayern has contacted the Reds Killing Star

It is reported that Bayern Munich has contacted Liverpool attacker Louis Dias about a potential transfer this summer. Dias has two years left in Anfield contract, but it is still doubtful whether he will stay in the 2025-26 season. The Colombia international continues to be linked to rumors of leaving the team and has previously become the target of Saudi club Riyadh victory. It was also believed that Barcelona was interested in Diaz before they clearly turned their focus to Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. Recently, it has been reported that Bayern is the latest club to show goodwill to the Liverpool striker. According to German media reports, Bayern has contacted Dias' camp, showing that it is accelerating its pursuit. Bayern sports director Max Ebert made a "substantive offer" to Dias about introducing him to the Allianz Stadium this summer. The negotiations involved the amounts related to personal terms, and Bayern became more interested in it after missing other goals. Bayern had previously had a scandal with Nico Williams and Dortmund's Jamie Gittens, but the two seemed to join Barcelona and Chelsea respectively. In addition to Dias, Bayern is also considering Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford as a potential candidate to introduce a new left winger. Rashford returned to Old Trafford after two seasons loan at Villa, who has decided not to activate the £40 million buyout clause. The 27-year-old will leave this summer because he is regarded as a redundant by Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim. But Bayern reportedly only put him on the "long list", indicating that he is not the main target at this stage.
