Recent reports from Area Napoli, via Sport Witness, highlight an intense transfer battle for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi. The Italian outlet claims that Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna is closely monitoring the 28-year-old. He views Senesi as a top candidate to address their defensive problems due to multiple injuries within the team. The Argentine international is seen as an affordable option to strengthen their defense.
Transfer Battle Brews for Marcos Senesi
The central defender has reportedly informed Bournemouth officials of his desire to leave when his current contract expires this summer. This puts him in a position to be available on a free transfer, attracting interest from several major clubs in Europe. Napoli has been interested in the player for some time, but they face stiff competition from other Premier League teams.
Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are particularly keen on acquiring him, with Everton also in the mix. Previous reports by Sport Witness indicated that Tottenham had shown interest earlier this month, and there are even suggestions that Barcelona could rival them. Everton was mentioned in similar discussions around early February. These developments suggest the player is looking for a new opportunity and intends to leave the Vitality Stadium.
Meanwhile, Juventus and Roma have recently intensified their interest, further complicating an already competitive market. With numerous teams vying for his signature, it’s clear that his agents are exploring all possible options ahead of the summer transfer window.
