Manchester City are close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth to sign Antoine Semenyo for £65m - but Andoni Iraola insists the forward has "definitely not" played his last game for the Cherries. They have agreed to meet Semenyo's £65m release clause, while the player's representatives were in Manchester on Monday finalising personal terms. "He is a massive player for us and he will still be with us," the Bournemouth boss told BBC Match of the Day. As reported by BBC Sport on Sunday, Liverpool retain an interest in Semenyo but, unless the Premier League champions launch a late bid, he is heading to City. Despite interest from five clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham, City remain the only one to have made formal contact with Bournemouth.
