Reports suggested Semenyo favored Manchester City because he wants to play under Pep Guardiola and challenge himself at the highest level there.
According to the British Daily Mail, Bournemouth expects Liverpool to join the race for Semenyo in the coming hours of this week.
Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have expressed interest in signing Semenyo and are ready to trigger his £65 million clause.
City are racing to complete Semenyo before the winter window opens next Thursday to boost their title hopes and seal an upgrade.
Liverpool had long admired Semenyo, being the first club linked with the player for years. That early talk kept fans hopeful too.
Although Liverpool had not yet entered Semenyo's race, reports said Reds' sporting director Richard Hughes is weighing a move from his club.
