Fans have been left in complete shock as Bournemouth make it clear exactly how much they want for star player Antoine Semenyo.
On Sunday afternoon, Bournemouth welcome reigning Premier League champions Manchester City to the Vitality stadium for perhaps their biggest match of the season in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Under Spanish manager Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have been enjoying a fantastic season, with star player Semenyo playing a large part in the side reaching the latter stages of the domestic competition.
Semenyo's impressive performances throughout the season have attracted the interests of several top clubs, and Bournemouth have named their price, shocking fans.

Across 32 appearances for Bournemouth in all competitions this season, Semenyo has scored nine goals and assisted a further six, making him one of the most important parts of Iraloa's attack.
This impressive form has reportedly attracted the interest of clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool, who could all consider a move when the summer transfer window opens in June.
But if any club hopes to pry the Ghana winger away from Bournemouth this summer, a report from The Sun claims that they will have to pay a transfer fee of £75million.
Reacting to the news, one fan wrote: "I have been vouching for him all along but this is crazy."
While another added: "Prem clubs have gone on their valuations for average players."
A Bournemouth fan wrote: "Sensible price. Bournemouth don’t want to sell any of our players. If you want one of them, dig very very deep."
But an Arsenal supporter claimed: "Prices in football are actually stupid. He’s worth £40 million at a push."
The report from The Sun claims that Bournemouth believe that their valuation of the 25-year-old is more than fair given the similar sums paid for other wingers in the Premier League who haven't performed as well.
The €95.00million (£80m) that Manchester United paid for outcast Antony and Chelsea's €70m (£62m), transfer fee for the now suspended Mykhailo Mudryk are just two of the examples Bournemouth believe justify their price tag for Semenyo.
