The 28-year-old Argentine centre-back, who joined the Cherries from Feyenoord for £10.5 million in 2022, has made over 121 appearances for the south-coast club but has communicated his desire to move on.The Arne Slot connection adds an intriguing dimension to Liverpool’s interest — the Reds boss previously worked with Senesi at Feyenoord and is known to rate the defender highly. Liverpool are also facing uncertainty at the back, with Ibrahima Konate’s future at Anfield still unresolved, making a free transfer for an experienced Premier League centre-back an attractive prospect.Ben Jacobs, speaking to GiveMeSport, has suggested that Liverpool could look to make a late move for Senesi:“Tottenham’s business is contingent on whether they are or aren’t in the Premier League – but there is still that agreement in principle in place with Marcos Senesi if Spurs stay up,” he said.“But Liverpool could enter the race at the last minute, that’s why it’s perversely both a closed race and an open race.

Closed in the sense that Tottenham are very optimistic that Sensei would want to join if they stay up, but open in the sense that Liverpool could try and hijack or they get relegated.”“It’s highly likely Sensei’s next destination will be in the Premier League.”Spurs’ hopes of landing Senesi hinge entirely on their Premier League survival, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side still embroiled in a relegation battle heading into the final weeks of the season.Should Tottenham drop to the Championship, Liverpool would be well-positioned to move quickly – and the prospect of Champions League football at Anfield is likely to make the Reds a highly attractive destination for a player of Senesi’s ambitions.
