Bournemouth fans will be gutted to be losing one of their best players to the Premier League elite.
Antoine Semenyo has a medical booked in at Manchester City, ahead of a £65m move, and the deal is expected to be done by this weekend.
The Ghana international, 26, joined the Cherries from Bristol City in January 2023 and signed a new contract last summer - which included the £65m release clause that activated on January 1.

His prolific efforts on the south coast had garnered attention from all the top teams, including Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham, but it was Manchester City that Semenyo had his heart set on.
When some players move during a transfer window, the fans are robbed of a proper goodbye. But for Semenyo, that won’t be the case.
His medical is apparently booked in after tonight’s (January 7) game against Tottenham, meaning the winger will have one final game in the red and black kit.
Speaking at a press conference before the deal was confirmed, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said: “It could be the last game - it is my personal opinion as I understand the market and the noise but there is nothing agreed right now.
“He, right now, is our player and I hope it continues.”
So far this season, Semenyo has scored nine goals and assisted three for his teammates.
