SportFootballLiverpool transfer newsLiverpool are in the market for a new centre-back this summer but face competition for Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi, who has already reportedly agreed personal terms with TottenhamLiverpool will have to move fast if they want to sign Marcos Senesi as a free agent upon his departure from Bournemouth. The Cherries confirmed on Friday that the centre-back will leave when his contract expires this summer - and there is bound to be a lot of interest in the Argentina international.Senesi has been one of the stand-out performers for Andoni Iraola's side this season, making 37 appearances across all competitions.
He has helped Bournemouth reach sixth place in the Premier League, with a good chance of securing European football next season with two games to go.But the 29-year-old has rejected multiple offers of a new deal with Bournemouth and will be leaving the club this summer, like Iraola. Liverpool are among the clubs who have been linked with Senesi, yet Tottenham have reportedly stolen a march on their rivals.According to talkSPORT, Senesi has agreed personal terms with Spurs and is in line to move to north London, if they avoid relegation.
Captain Virgil van Dijk is now 34 years old and, with Giovanni Leoni having suffered a season-ending knee injury soon after arriving last summer, there is still a need for new players, despite the pending £60million arrival of Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes.Senesi has been the bedrock behind Bournemouth's climb up the table in 2026, partnering James Hill to 11 clean sheets during their current 16-game unbeaten run. For now, there are still two big games left of the season and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”Join our LFC WhatsApp community and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
