Aston Villa have registered interest in Bournemouth's 28-year-old Argentine defender Marcos Senesi and have spoken with his representatives, joining several other Premier League clubs. Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle, and Sunderland have also made contact, while Chelsea held exploratory discussions in recent months that did not progress. The defender has informed Bournemouth he will not sign a new deal and will be a free agent at the end of the season. He has also attracted interest from Italian clubs Juventus and Napoli, as well as Atletico Madrid in Spain. However, Barcelona have reportedly moved most decisively, and the Catalan club's interest has influenced Senesi. Sources indicate that they have accelerated negotiations and are preparing a proposal that is the most intriguing to the player's representatives. Senesi, who has two caps for Argentina, joined Bournemouth in August 2022 from Feyenoord for a fee of €15 million. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt at €22 million, while in December 2024, Bournemouth's asking price was reportedly between €15-17 million.
