Manchester City have officially completed the signing of Ghanaian forward , Antoine Semenyo , in a £64 million ($86,030,720.00) transfer, placing him among the club’s most expensive acquisitions and marking a major milestone in his rapidly rising career.
It marks a proud milestone for the Semenyo family, as Antoine’s €75 million (£65 million) move to Manchester City makes him the most expensive Ghanaian footballer in history.
Semenyo expressed immense pride at joining the Premier League champions, praising Manchester City’s decade-long dominance under manager Pep Guardiola. He highlighted the club’s achievements across the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, describing City as a global benchmark with world‑class players, elite facilities and one of the greatest managers in modern football.
Reflecting on the timing of the move, Semenyo said he believes he has significant room for growth and sees Manchester City as the perfect environment to elevate his game. With the club still competing on four fronts this season, he is confident he can contribute meaningfully to a strong second‑half campaign. He described the Etihad Stadium as his “new home” and expressed eagerness to perform in front of the City supporters.
