Juventus step up Marcos Senesi chase amid Premier League battle

Juventus will look to sign 28-year-old Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window if he leaves the club as a free agent.

According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Juve, Marcos Senesi is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a centre-back heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Bournemouth defender. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham are also keen on signing the Argentine international, but the Italian heavyweights are ramping up their efforts to secure his services.

How has Marcos Senesi fared at Bournemouth?

Marcos Senesi has established himself as one of the most underrated defenders in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Feyenoord in August 2022. Born in Concordia, the 28-year-old spent his formative years in Argentina and graduated from the youth division at San Lorenzo de Almagro. However, he rose in prominence during his spell with Feyenoord before moving to England.

The Argentine international has forged a solid central defensive partnership with several players, making his mark with his consistency. Senesi has made over 100 appearances for Bournemouth thus far, chipping in with nine goals and seven assists. However, he faces an uncertain future after entering the final six months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, and Tottenham.

A man in demand

Juventus will dip into the market for a centre-back in the summer transfer window, as Luciano Spalletti wants more options for his team’s central defensive unit. Several candidates have thus emerged on Juventus’s wishlist, with Senesi also a viable target. As for Manchester United, Harry Maguire’s long-term future is uncertain, as he has entered the final six months of his contract.

So, Marcos Senesi has emerged as a target for Manchester United. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in the Bournemouth centre-back is understandable. Axel Disasi has no future at the West London club, while Wesley Fofana has struggled with fitness issues throughout his spell at Stamford Bridge. So, Senesi is an option worth considering for Chelsea.

As for Tottenham, Cristian Romero’s long-term future is uncertain after his recent outbursts. Additionally, widespread reports have linked the Argentine international with several high-profile clubs, including Real Madrid. Several candidates have thus emerged on Tottenham’s radar, with Senesi also a viable target.

Apart from Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, and Tottenham, several other clubs have shown interest in Senesi. However, the Bianconeri will ramp up the efforts to sign the 28-year-old Bournemouth defender in the coming months, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
