Personal terms have been settled, and the Cherries will receive Semenyo’s £65 million release clause – although the specific payment arrangements are still being finalized.
The 25-year-old winger currently earns £75,000 per week at Bournemouth.
His salary is expected to rise to £150,000 a week at City, according to The Guardian , with performance bonuses potentially increasing this amount over the duration of a five-year contract.
Despite the increase, Semenyo will still rank low among the club's top earners at the Etihad.
The Ghana international’s new wage would place him 13th on the list, alongside Kalvin Phillips, who has only played seven competitive minutes this season.
Goal-scoring sensation Erling Haaland tops the list with a weekly wage that is three and a half times greater than Semenyo’s proposed salary.
Veteran Bernardo Silva follows, with Omar Marmoush, John Stones, and Gianluigi Donnarumma next in line.
Ruben Dias and Phil Foden both earn over £200,000 a week, with summer signing Rayan Cherki not far behind.
