The Argentina international is entering the final months of his contract at the Vitality Stadium and is quickly emerging as one of the most attractive free agent options in the Premier League.
With Senesi having rejected multiple contract extension offers, Bournemouth are bracing for his departure and Spurs are positioning themselves to pounce.
Ben Jacobs confirms Tottenham’s interest in Marcos Senesi
Speaking The last word on Spursrespected journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed that Tottenham are closely monitoring Senesi’s situation.
However, Spurs face stiff competition.
European giants Juventus are tracking the defender, while Chelsea could also join the race if their pursuit of Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet fails.
Jacobs said:
“From Tottenham’s perspective, there are a few defenders they really like. One of those is Marcos Senesi, and I would expect Tottenham to be in that conversation if he becomes a free agent in the summer.”
Of course there will be other clubs. Juventus is one of them. Chelsea could go that route if Jeremy Jacquet doesn’t arrive. So that is a name to keep an eye on.”
Crucially, Tottenham’s potential Champions League qualification, combined with the chance for Senesi to stay in the Premier League, could give Spurs a decisive lead.
Spurs need a new centre-back in an uncertain future
The interest in Senesi comes at a time of significant transition for Tottenham’s backline.
Despite the club’s heavy investments in recent years, the defensive department remains a point of concern for Thomas Frank.
Radu Dragusin
The Romania international is reportedly “desperate” to leave north London in January. After getting consistent minutes behind favored duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, Dragusin has been heavily linked with a return to Italy, with AS Roma currently leading the hunt for his signature.
Micky van de Ven
Although Van de Ven was an essential part of the starting XI, he has attracted the interest of Premier League champions Liverpool. His departure would leave a huge void on the left side of central defence, a role that Senesi can fill perfectly.
Signing a defender of his caliber on a free transfer would be exceptional, especially in a market where central defenders command high fees.
With interest from rivals increasing and defensive changes looming, expect Tottenham to accelerate talks to land one of the brightest signings of the summer.
