Argentine centre‑back Marcos Senesi continues to stand out at Bournemouth and will become a free agent once his contract expires on June 30.
His name has resurfaced within Deco's sporting department amid Barcelona's defensive concerns under Hansi Flick and the club’s fragile finances. Senesi and his agent have repeatedly indicated they do not intend to accept the terms previously offered by Bournemouth: at 28 he is seeking a change and wants to compete for trophies in Europe.
Recent reports place renewed interest around him: English outlets say Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle have reportedly made some kind of approach to the player, while Chelsea has merely sought to learn the conditions Senesi demands. Outside the Premier League, Juventus, Napoli and Atlético Madrid are also said to be in the race alongside Barcelona.
TeamTalk claims the player's entourage have been in contact with Barcelona and notes that there is a lot of interest; when Barcelona shows interest it is hard to ignore. Transfer speculation around Senesi is likely to persist until the player himself reveals where he will play next season.
