Marcos Senesi Transfer from AFC Bournemouth to FC Barcelona
Tuttosport stated that FC Barcelona is interested in Marcos Senesi and is competing with Juventus to sign him. Ferran Martínez reported in MD that Barcelona considered Marcos Senesi as an option for the winter transfer window, primarily because of his favorable contract situation, though he was not the preferred option. The report also added that Barcelona has scouting reports on Senesi from his time at Feyenoord. Marcos Senesi was not the final preferred choice, and Joao Cancelo was signed instead for the latter half of the current season.
According to TalkSport, The Cherries will reject any January bids for centre-back Marcos Senesi, with Barcelona interested.
Barcelona have made enquiries in recent weeks about Marcos Senesi, whom the club views as a technically secure, left-footed defender that fits their system. The club appreciates his ball progression and his ability to play in a high line; these are considered crucial elements for Hansi Flick’s structure.
According to TuttoSport, Manchester United are occupied with finding a new interim manager, and this has led to a deadlock, giving Barcelona the advantage in the pursuit of Marcos Senesi.
Juventus is reportedly attempting to sign Marcos Senesi quickly, aiming to act before interested parties such as Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona. Senesi is under contract at Bournemouth until mid-2026, but it is also mentioned that the club must act now to receive a fee for him as he can leave on a free transfer next summer due to an expiring contract. Feyenoord would also gain from a transfer, as they secured a resale percentage. Transfermarkt estimates Senesi's market value at 22 million euros, but Bournemouth will likely have to accept a lower amount because of his contract situation.
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are competing with Atletico Madrid to sign Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi this summer.
According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona has spoken with Marcos Senesi's entourage. It is considered difficult, however, for Bournemouth to allow the player to leave in January.
According to Sport, Marcos Senesi is being closely monitored by Barcelona. The club has a current preference for a loan or a low-cost recruitment instead of an immediate transfer. Deco and Hansi Flick have a plan to analyse the market before a decision is made, particularly to fill the centre-back position following the long-term absence of Christensen.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are both associated with Marcos Senesi.
According to AS, FC Barcelona is studying the profile of Marcos Senesi to strengthen its defense under Hansi Flick. Marcos Senesi's contract with Bournemouth expires next June.
According to Matteo Moretto, two other major clubs are also interested in signing Marcos Senesi. The 28-year-old has a contract at Bournemouth that is expiring and he is not currently expected to extend it. The Argentinian central defender could be available on a free transfer in six months.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Marcos Senesi is among three experienced professionals whose contracts expire at the end of the season and who are under consideration by FC Barcelona to reinforce its central defense.
Marcos Senesi is being monitored by the scouting team of FC Barcelona as a potential transfer target. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Bournemouth player does not want to renew his expiring contract. It is not certain if Bournemouth will cooperate with a transfer this winter.
Marcos Senesi, a 28-year-old left-footed central defender from Bournemouth who also holds Italian citizenship, has been followed by Barcelona's new head of scouting, Joao Amaral. Although not considered a preferential option, the Argentine international's contract expires in June, making January the final opportunity for Bournemouth to receive a transfer fee. Senesi, who has earned 2 caps for his country, is regarded by manager Andoni Iraola as a player who is not for sale, and Barcelona already possesses scouting reports on him from his period at Feyenoord. The defender joined Bournemouth in August 2022 and has made 16 appearances and provided 3 assists in the Premier League so far this season. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €22.00m. In the past, he has also attracted interest from clubs in Italy and Spain, including Roma and Juventus.
