Premier League defender forgets about Barcelona move as contract agreement nears

Premier League defender forgets about Barcelona move as contract agreement nears

Barcelona have plans to sign a new central defender during this summer’s transfer window, and numerous targets have been identified. Alessandro Bastoni is the favourite of head coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, but if they are not able to match the demands set by Inter, they will have to consider cheaper options.

One of said options has been Marcos Senesi, who will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season when his contract expires. Numerous clubs have set their sights on the Argentine centre-back, although it has been reported that his preferred destination would be the Spotify Camp Nou.

But with Barcelona going all-in on Bastoni, this has meant the option of Senesi has fallen by the wayside. As such, Senesi is no longer waiting for the Catalans to make their move, as reported by Sky Germany (via Sport).

Senesi agrees to join Tottenham Hotspur – on one condition

Senesi is instead set to stay in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur. He’s agreed a pre-contract with the London club, although this will be pulled if Roberto De Zerbi’s side were to be relegated this season – they are currently two points adrift with only four matches to go.
