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.
