Liverpool in Contact Over Free Transfer for Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi

The chance to add an experienced centre-back at no fee offers Liverpool a flexible option during a summer of defensive uncertainty.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on Friday reported that Liverpool made contact over Marcos Senesi after the defender told Bournemouth he will leave at season’s end on a free transfer.
  • Barcelona have held talks with Senesi’s camp but view him as an alternative to top target Alessandro Bastoni, which keeps the player’s options open.
  • Juventus registered interest earlier and several Premier League clubs have been approached, setting up a broad race with no agreement announced.
  • Senesi, 28, is a left-footed Argentine centre-back with more than 120 Premier League games and standout passing numbers this season, including high progressive and long-ball metrics cited by FOTMOB.
  • A Bosman move would let him join without a transfer fee, which suits Liverpool as they weigh Ibrahima Konaté’s contract situation, Joe Gomez’s future and reduced minutes for 34-year-old Virgil van Dijk.
