Liverpool pushed to covet Marcos Senesi, but deal reportedly already done with Tottenham
By OnzeActu · · 3 min read
Liverpool remain linked with Marcos Senesi this summer, but the Bournemouth defender already has a deal to join Tottenham, according to Ben Jacobs. The change of coach at Anfield and the departure of Ibrahima Konaté are reviving the rumors, without the matter being called into question for the moment.
Liverpool have already been linked to numerous transfer cases this summer. Even though the Anfield club spent more than £450 million last season, significant adjustments are still necessary to become competitive again. The recent replacement of Arne Slot by Andoni Iraola could facilitate some negotiations, with players perhaps more inclined to join the Reds under the Basque's leadership. However, until Iraola is fully established, Liverpool are unlikely to make any major moves, especially as the Spaniard's style is noticeably the opposite of Slot's. Participation in the Champions League this season, however, will make recruitment more attractive.
However, a possible “hijack” by Liverpool on a file has been mentioned in recent hours. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Marcos Senesi should still join Tottenham despite the interest of the Reds. Senesi has been one of the most consistent players under Andoni Iraola during his two years at Bournemouth. An Argentinian international, the former Feyenoord player has seen his partners in the central hinge change on numerous occasions, without this affecting his value.
Despite a season that took the Cherries to the Europa League, Senesi is said to have opted to explore other opportunities and a deal to see him join Tottenham is already in place, even though Liverpool have been heavily linked with the move. With the arrival of Iraola at Liverpool and the departure of Ibrahima Konaté free, questions have arisen around the defender's future. In an update relayed by GiveMeSport, Ben Jacobs clarified: “It's pretty much all agreed with Tottenham, that's where we are now. Spurs will obviously want to finalize and reveal all of this as quickly as possible to avoid surprises and, if there is ever a last minute change of heart, I will keep you informed. But those close to Senesi insist they gave Tottenham their word. »
Senesi would undoubtedly have been an ideal first recruit for Iraola at Liverpool: described by some observers as an “outstanding” player, he already masters the Basque system and, with a free position in central defense, he could have claimed a starting place. However, this will not be the case, and now the success of Iraola's transfer window will depend on his ability to complete three or four reinforcements capable of quickly adapting to his style.
