Bournemouth director of football operations, Tiago Pinto, has officially confirmed that Marcos Senesi will leave the club on a free transfer this summer. Newcastle United have registered firm interest in signing Marcos Senesi, and it is reported that they believe they are in a leading position to keep the 28-year-old in England.

According to Sports Boom, Newcastle United are now described as strong favourites to sign Marcos Senesi, whose contract at Bournemouth is set to expire at the end of the season. Newcastle have registered an interest in Senesi and have held talks with his representatives. While Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola would like to keep his defender, the 28-year-old wants a significant transfer. In December 2025, Iraola described Senesi as being very valuable in The Bournemouth Echo.

Newcastle United and other Premier League clubs are interested in Bournemouth's 28-year-old Argentinian defender, Marcos Senesi, and have spoken with his representatives. Senesi's contract expires at the end of the season, at which point he will be a free agent. Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, and Sunderland are also interested in him. Chelsea previously had talks that did not advance, and Italian teams Juventus and Napoli are also interested. The most significant interest has come from Spain. Atletico Madrid have expressed their admiration for Senesi, while Barcelona have reportedly acted most decisively. According to sources, Barcelona have recently sped up negotiations and are preparing a proposal that is the most intriguing to the player's representatives. A source close to the situation stated that while Senesi has not ruled out any options, the interest from Barcelona is a significant attraction. Senesi has been capped twice by Argentina and joined Bournemouth from Feyenoord in August 2022 for a €15 million fee. It was reported that in previous transfer windows, Bournemouth's asking price was between €15-17 million in December 2024.
