According to Team Talk, Sunderland have been approached about a possible deal for Marcos Senesi, who has communicated to the Bournemouth hierarchy that he is ready to leave at the end of the season. Multiple Premier League clubs have already been approached regarding a potential Bosman move for Senesi, and he is set to be available on a free transfer.

Sunderland are one of several Premier League clubs interested in Bournemouth's 28-year-old Argentinian defender, Marcos Senesi, and have spoken with his representatives. The player's contract expires at the end of the season, making him a free agent. Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle have also shown interest, while Chelsea held exploratory talks. Interest has also come from Italian clubs Juventus and Napoli. However, Barcelona are reportedly leading the effort to sign him; the Spanish club has accelerated negotiations and their interest has influenced the player. Senesi has two caps for Argentina and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €22 million. He moved to Bournemouth from Feyenoord in August 2022 for a €15 million fee, and in December 2024, the club's asking price was reportedly between €15-17 million.
