Liverpool weighing up offer to hijack major Tottenham transfer deal | OneFootball

Liverpool are reportedly weighing up trying to hijack Tottenham’s move to sign Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi.

The Argentine is set to be out of contract at Bournemouth this summer, and our understanding is that he has been in advanced talks over joining Spurs.

However, nothing has been fully agreed yet due to uncertainty over whether Tottenham can stay in the Premier League, which could lead to other clubs joining the race.

According to talkSPORT, Liverpool could be set to try to get in ahead of their rivals, with there still seemingly being no clarity on Ibrahima Konate staying and signing a new contract at Anfield.

Marcos Senesi transfer looks like a good opportunity for top clubs

Even if Senesi isn’t the biggest name in world football, he’s a quality player with Premier League experience who’s about to be available on a free transfer.

Tottenham could certainly do well to add someone like that to their squad for next season after flirting with relegation this term.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have also had a disappointing season by their high standards, with Champions League qualification still not entirely guaranteed yet.

It seems clear the Reds would benefit from strengthening at the back after conceding 47 league goals – more than the likes of Everton and Crystal Palace, and 21 more than league leaders Arsenal.

Bournemouth to lose more star players?

Bournemouth saw Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez leave last summer, while Antoine Semenyo then joined Manchester City in January.

The Cherries now look set to lose Senesi for nothing, while there’ll likely be speculation over other star players such as Eli Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott.

Meanwhile, manager Andoni Iraola is also leaving his position as he’ll also be out of contract this summer.
