Marcos Senesi, a step away from Tottenham: deal hinges on relegation | OneFootball

Bournemouth captain agreed to join the London side after the World Cup. The deal will only go through if Spurs manage to stay in the Premier League.

Marcos Senesi reached an agreement in principle with Tottenham to become a new signing for next season. The left-footed defender, currently enjoying an excellent spell at Bournemouth, would arrive to fill the spot that Cristian “Cuti” Romero could potentially leave vacant. However, it is a “gentlemen’s agreement” with one non-negotiable condition: Spurs must avoid relegation for the transfer to be finalized.

The situation for the London club is critical. They are currently in 18th place with 31 points, occupying the last automatic relegation spot, just two points behind West Ham. The team, now managed on an interim basis by Michael Carrick, is coming off a dramatic draw against Brighton and is dealing with Cuti Romero’s injury absence, which has accelerated the search for top-level center-backs.

Senesi, 28, will arrive as a free agent after his contract with the “Cherries” expires. The center-back is going through the best moment of his career: he is a key figure in England and has made 35 appearances with five assists this season, numbers that make him a strong candidate for Lionel Scaloni’s final World Cup squad.

If Tottenham manage to stay up in the final Premier League matchdays, the former San Lorenzo player will move to London after the World Cup to make the definitive step up to a “Big Six” club. In the meantime, his absolute priority is finishing the season with Bournemouth and earning a place in the 26-man squad
