Tottenham strike ‘agreement’ to sign new centre-back – multiple sources | OneFootball

Tottenham have an agreement in place to sign one of Cristian Romero’s fellow Argentina internationals, though as you might expect, the deal is contingent on an obvious condition.

A shambolic season at Tottenham looks like getting even worse, with both Leeds United and Nottingham Forest now seemingly out of the relegation dogfight.

Forest smashed Sunderland 5-0 on Friday night, with the battle to avoid finishing 18th looking like it’s narrowed down to West Ham vs Tottenham.

Avoiding the drop is obviously Tottenham’s primary concern, though as all good clubs should, they have one eye on the future.

And with TEAMtalk revealing Micky van de Ven has no intention of signing a new contract, Spurs must look to the future in the centre-back position sooner rather than later.

According to the latest from Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham have done exactly that by securing an ‘agreement in principle’ to bring Marcos Senesi on board.

Tottenham agree terms with Marcos Senesi

Taking to X, Plettenberg wrote: “Marcos Senesi and Tottenham have reached an agreement in principle.

“The 28 y/o top centre-back has given his commitment to join Spurs on a free transfer in the summer, if Tottenham stay in the Premier League. It is now up to Tottenham. Nothing signed yet.”

The three-cap Argentina international will leave Bournemouth via free agency in the summer.

He has courted interest from the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd, though it’s debateable as to whether he’d continue to be a starter at those clubs.

Perhaps with that in mind, he’s agreed to join Tottenham in a story our insider, Graeme Bailey, actually broke eight days ago.

Back on April 17, Bailey wrote: “Spurs have moved quickly to position themselves at the front of the queue for the Argentine defender, who is set to leave  AFC Bournemouth on a free transfer.

“Talks have progressed positively, with an agreement now in place on personal terms.”

But as stressed, the move will only be finalised if Spurs retain their Premier League status.

Same situation with Andy Robertson

It’s the same story with Tottenham’s summer swoop for Liverpool left-back, Andy Robertson, who has also agreed to move to the north London club.

The Scot would add much-needed experience and leadership to a Tottenham squad sorely lacking in both. But as is the case with Senesi, Robertson will only join if Tottenham are a Premier League side.

Over to you, Roberto De Zerbi.
