Argentine star could be Liverpool's next signing after Jeremy Jacquet | OneFootball

Jeremy Jacquet will only be the beginning of Liverpool's summer arrivals.

Liverpool have already struck an agreement for his arrival in July, and he’s expected to provide valuable depth in a position where the squad is currently short.

However, Jacquet won’t be the only new face at Anfield this summer, nor the only centre-back joining the club.

There’s growing uncertainty over the futures of several defenders. Ibrahima Konaté could depart with his contract running down and no extension agreed, while Joe Gomez continues to attract interest and came close to joining AC Milan last summer. With his deal set to expire in 2027, Liverpool may consider cashing in.

If those exits materialise, further reinforcements in defence will be essential. Fortunately, there is a clear option available—someone who offers both experience and quality, without demanding a significant transfer fee.

The obvious solution is Marcos Senesi. According to a new report from TEAMtalk while Barcelona are leading the race for the Argentine's signature, Liverpool are in contact with the Bournemouth defender.

And this is a move that would make so much sense.

Why?

Senesi's contract expires in the summer, meaning he will be a free agent. He already has a lot of experience in the Premier League and he's also versatile, capable of playing in a number of different roles across the back four.

Most importantly, Arne Slot knows him well. Senesi worked together with him at Feyenoord during the 2021/22 season before he departed the Dutch side.

Given Liverpool are going to have two very young centre-backs in Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni, bringing in Senesi makes a lot of sense.

By the time summer arrives, he’ll be 29 - an age profile Liverpool don’t typically prioritise given their long-term planning.

But there are exceptions to every rule. Players like James Milner and Wataru Endo have shown that sometimes experience can be just as valuable as potential.

If Liverpool are looking to strengthen their depth, particularly with the possible departures of Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez, bringing in someone like Senesi makes a lot of sense. He offers reliability, maturity, and a wealth of experience.

It’s also worth highlighting that Senesi remains somewhat underrated. Over the past few seasons, he’s been a crucial figure for Bournemouth, often going under the radar despite his consistent performances.

While Dean Huijsen and Ilya Zabarnyi attracted much of the attention last season, Senesi quietly played a vital role in what was a strong campaign for the Cherries.

All things considered, this is a move that fits on multiple levels. With Jacquet already set to arrive, Senesi could well be the next through the doors at the AXA Training Centre.
