Antoine Semenyo sends heartfelt goodbye message after Bournemouth exit announcement
Antoine Semenyo left an emotional message on social media after the announcement of a Bournemouth departure this summer.
The Cherries have enjoyed one of their best seasons ever, and yet there will be some who wonder what could have been.
Bournemouth flew as high as fifth in the Premier League at one point this campaign, but a run of just two wins from their last 12 league games has seen them crash down to 11th.
This means Tottenham target Andoni Iraola‘s side will miss out on European football, and with several of Europe’s biggest clubs sniffing around, they face a tough task keeping their squad in one piece.
Dean Huijsen has already been confirmed to be heading to Real Madrid once the season has finished, and Bournemouth are set to lose one of their wingers this summer.

The winger shared a series of images from his time at the Vitality, captioned: “Cherries where do I begin, I came to this club as a 16 year old boy, with no confidence after just being released. The club that took a chance on me and changed my life forever, I leave with nothing but fond memories from my time in the academy all the way up to the first team.
“They saying streets won’t forget that 21/22 season”.
The winger then went on the thank the players, staff and fans of the club, finishing the message by saying: “As always luv for the luv!”
The winger’s teammate, Man United target Semenyo, responded to Anthony: “I’m not crying; all the best my brother!”

Football Insider Verdict
Bournemouth are facing a serious challenge with keeping all of their star players this summer.
Huijsen has already been confirmed to be Madrid-bound, whilst it would be surprising to see Liverpool target Milos Kerkez playing for the Cherries next season.
The potential departures don’t end there, as there is interest in Semenyo, Illia Zabarnyi, and Justin Kluivert, all of whom have enjoyed fantastic seasons on the South Coast.

A report from The Telegraph in March revealed Bournemouth had no plans to sell off all their top talent in one go, but keeping their current stars happy where they are may prove difficult.
The club may be forced to spend big to keep their current crop of players happy this summer, or else face somewhat of a mutiny, given the stature of some of the clubs interested in the likes of Semenyo and Kerkez.
