Roberto de Zerbi removed the safety net when he signed a five-year contract with Tottenham. If the club is relegated, the Italian will follow. It is precisely this mentality that Spurs supporters need to see. The mentality the players showed against Aston Villa at the weekend with a 1-2 win was in the same category. Now they are working hard towards the Leeds game on Monday, at the same time as they will be positioned for the right signings this summer.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Tottenham had secured a deal for Marcos Senesi, the robust centre-back at Bournemouth nicknamed “El Gladiator”, who has helped play the club towards the other end of the Premier League table than the one Spurs are currently in. This is clearly something the Liverpool management does not intend to sit quietly and watch.

Since his transfer to Bournemouth in 2022, the Argentine centre-back has been one of coach Andoni Iraola’s key players in the Bournemouth defence. This season, the club, which in the 2022/23 season narrowly saved a place in the Premier League, is fighting for the Europa League ticket. This season, Senesi has been a rock in the defensive wall, but will walk out as a free agent in the summer.
According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, an agreement in principle between Tottenham and the Argentine is in place. Senesi is said to be impressed with the project De Zerbi is trying to build in North London, but if Tottenham disappear from the Premier League, it will be without Senesi.
According to transfer journalist Matteo Moretto, Liverpool have now signed up for a Senesi signing:
“We are talking again about Marcos Senesi, Bournemouth’s centre-back whose contract expires in June. We have discussed him many times. He doesn’t want to renew and wants to go on a free transfer – Bournemouth already know this.”
“I had already mentioned quite clearly here that Senesi wanted to stay in the Premier League. There has been and still is some interest from Italy, but he wants to stay in England. I have been told – and it has been confirmed 100% – that the Argentine defender intends to stay in the Premier League.” “He has performed very well at Bournemouth. His career was slowed down by some significant injuries, but once he’s regained his form, he’s shown all his quality in the Premier League.”

“Senesi will stay in the Premier League and beyond the two clubs I already mentioned – Chelsea and Tottenham, especially Tottenham, Liverpool have also come into the game quite strongly in the last few days. So keep an eye on Liverpool, because they are expected to make new contacts for Marcos Senesi,” the transfer journalist concludes.
