Instead, it would appear he's eyeing up a move to a different club in the Premier League, with Tottenham emerging as the most likely candidate.That's according to The Athletic, who have labelled Spurs as the 'leading contender' to sign Senesi, even though Manchester United and Liverpool have also been mentioned in the conversation.

No deal has been confirmed yet, with talks ongoing, and the report also states Senesi is still open to ongoing interest from other clubs.What's more, the outlet claims any prospective deal for Senesi would hinge on Tottenham retaining their status in the Premier League. Roberto De Zerbi is the latest manager parachuted in to try and save Spurs' season, but the north Londoners currently find themselves inside the bottom three.The 2025 Europa League winners will resume their bid to avoid the drop at home to De Zerbi's old employers, Brighton, when the two meet in Saturday's tea-time kick-off.

Failure to win the match in the capital could see Spurs slip even further into trouble, given West Ham play Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest host Burnley.Marcos Senesi has emerged as one of the Premier League's best centre-backs (Image: Getty)The potential Senesi signing has cast doubt on the futures of both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, with the former having been linked with a move away from Spurs. Once again though, that's dependent on Spurs still being in the Premier League next season.
