He&#8217;s playing very well. My concern is that it doesn\u2019t affect him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s played very well; he\u2019s committed to the team and and I hope we can keep him. There are things happening out of our control.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Antoine, for me, has been performing very well. The level of consistency has been very good since the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s very valuable for us not just the numbers, but a lot of things<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You never know what is going to happen. In the summer there were a lot of movements. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen in the winter movements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end, you sign a contract and understand that both parties are happy. I hope we don&#8217;t lose him, but I don\u2019t know,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t control what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Semenyo, who signed a fresh contract until 2030, has a \u00a365million release clause in January. He has enjoyed a strong 2025-26 campaign, providing eight goals and three assists in 16 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Semenyo will hope to continue his goalscoring form when Bournemouth host Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andoni Iraola has reinforced his desire to hang onto Antoine Semenyo Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has reinforced his desire to hang onto sought-after winger Antoine Semenyo, but accepts that the Ghana forward&#8217;s future is out of his control.
