"Barcelona have emerged as one of the potential suitors for Marcos Senesi, the Argentine defender who could be available on a free transfer next summer. Everything suggests Senesi is not going to renew his contract at Bournemouth, making him an ideal target for a Barcelona side desperately looking for defensive reinforcements. Senesi's potential status as a free agent, coupled with his experience at the highest level of football, makes him an attractive target for the Blaugrana."
"Under the management of Pep Segura, and with the sporting direction duo of Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes in charge of scouting, Barcelona closely monitored Senesi during his breakthrough at San Lorenzo. At the time, with Thomas Vermaelen struggling physically and Gerard Pique ageing, the club ordered detailed scouting reports on the left-footed centre-back, who was already captaining Argentina's U-21 side and shining in the Copa Libertadores."
"Despite the thorough scouting, a move never materialised seven years ago. Instead, Feyenoord took the gamble, developing Senesi before selling him to Bournemouth for over €12 million. Now, at 28 years old, Senesi has proven his credentials at the highest level of football by performing for Bournemouth. But after making over 100 appearances for the Cherries, it appears the player is ready to take the next step in his career."
Barcelona have identified Marcos Senesi as a potential defensive signing, with the Argentine likely to be available on a free transfer next summer. The player appears unlikely to renew his Bournemouth contract after more than 100 appearances for the club. Barcelona first monitored Senesi during his 2018 breakthrough at San Lorenzo under Pep Segura, with scouting led by Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes. The left-footed centre-back captained Argentina's U-21 side and impressed in the Copa Libertadores. Feyenoord developed Senesi before selling him to Bournemouth for over €12 million. At 28, Senesi fits the profile as a long-term replacement for Inigo Martinez.
