Will Dortmund miss out on Senesi? Juve step up their pursuit | OneFootball

Hardened in the Premier League, a national player, and also left-footed: Center-backs like Marcos Senesi are highly sought after in the transfer market. Numerous top clubs have the Argentinian, who plays for AFC Bournemouth, high on their list. Borussia Dortmund is also in the race for the defender.

However, the chances of signing Senesi are currently not good. The competition is notable and financially strong. From the Premier League, clubs like Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur are vying for the twice-capped international. From La Liga, Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona seem interested, and from Serie A, Juventus Turin and AS Roma are keen.

The Italian record champion appears to be getting serious according to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport. The season is anything but satisfactory for Juve. In the league, the Old Lady lost 0-2 at home to the up-and-coming team from Como last Saturday (February 21) and is only in fifth place. After a 2-5 debacle in the first leg of the Champions League playoff at Galatasaray Istanbul, the Bianconeri face an early exit.

Free Transfer in the Summer

According to the report, financial resources for a fresh start are limited in the capital of Piedmont. Signing Senesi would fit well with the requirements, as the defender's contract with Bournemouth expires in the summer of 2026. The player is said to have received an offer from Juve for a contract lasting three to four years. The salary is reportedly between four to five million euros plus a performance-based bonus.

At Juve, he would form the central defense with Pierre Kalulu (25). In contrast, Federico Gatti (27) is expected to leave, with English clubs already showing interest.

In Dortmund, Senesi is considered an alternative to Nico Schlotterbeck (26), who is rumored to be in talks with Real Madrid. However, it is still unknown how and where the Dortmund defense chief will actually continue next season. It seems unlikely, though, that Senesi will replace him.
