The Bournemouth centre-back will become a free agent after the 2025/26 season.
However, a move for the Cherries star may be contingent on whether or not Ibrahima Konate stays at Anfield, reports Ben Jacobs.
Jacobs, reporting on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed that a multitude of Premier League suitors, also including Tottenham and Manchester United, have shown interest.
Spurs, indeed, would appear to be the most serious competitors for the Argentine’s signature, having secured a pre-agreement on personal terms.

But a move on Liverpool’s part may very well depend on what happens with Ibrahima Konate’s future.
There had appeared to be some optimism over the Frenchman signing a contract extension ahead of the summer, with Real Madrid cooling their interest.
However, reliable reporting has indicated that both player and club have reached something of a stalemate, with both parties still yet to agree on improved terms.
If there’s an opportunity to sign a Premier League-proven centre-back in Senesi, we’d probably be well-advised to grasp it.
While we appreciate the Bournemouth star would be a drop-off from Konate (particularly in aerial duels), the fact of the matter remains that Liverpool could do with bolstering their ranks regardless.

We do have two young and upcoming centre-backs in Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, but both will be returning from injury and so will need to be carefully managed going into the next season.
Beyond that, it leaves Arne Slot with veteran stars in our French international and Virgil van Dijk, who could both leave the club within the next two summer windows.
So it’s not technicallyan ideal quota of centre-backs.
In that case, what possible harm could it do to reinforce the backline with a free, quality option in Marcos Senesi?
It’s a no-brainer, if you ask us!
