Liverpool Keep Tabs on Senesi as Spurs Deal Remains Unsigned

Marcos Senesi's path to Tottenham is far from certain, leaving the door ajar for Liverpool to potentially steal a march on their rivals this summer.

The Bournemouth stalwart, 28, has been among the Premier League's most dependable defensive performers this season and finds himself at the centre of a transfer tussle that could yet swing in multiple directions. Senesi is set to become a free agent come June, making him an attractive proposition for any club looking to strengthen their backline without breaking the bank.

Spurs have appeared the frontrunners in recent weeks, with reports suggesting the two camps have reached an understanding in principle. However, there is a significant catch: the deal hinges entirely on Tottenham maintaining their top-flight status—a far from guaranteed proposition given their current predicament.

Sources close to the situation suggest that whilst Spurs are genuinely keen and have held advanced talks with the Argentine defender, nothing is yet set in stone. "It's not agreed yet," one insider revealed. "Spurs are in advanced talks, they're really keen on the player, but no final decision yet."

This ambiguity presents an opening for Liverpool, who are actively combing the market for defensive reinforcements following a frustrating 2025/26 campaign. The Anfield club have already bolstered their ranks with acquisitions Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, yet they remain keen to add another seasoned centre-back to their ranks.

Liverpool's hunt for defensive depth comes amid ongoing struggles for established figures like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate this term. The club missed out on Marc Guehi earlier, and they are determined not to repeat such disappointments. Even if Konate commits to fresh terms, there remains room in the squad for an additional option in that department.

Senesi represents precisely the type of experienced, cost-effective addition that appeals to Liverpool's recruitment strategy. Yet they are not alone in their admiration. Manchester United are also keeping close watch on the market, with both clubs eyeing alternatives including Juventus's Pierre Kalulu.

For now, Senesi holds the cards. Should Tottenham secure their Premier League future, a move south to north London may well materialise. Should they falter, however, a host of suitors will be ready to pounce—and Liverpool appear very much among them.
