Bournemouth star keeps Barcelona option open amid contract run-out | OneFootball

FC Barcelona continue to monitor promising opportunities in the transfer market as the club seeks to balance its sporting ambitions with financial prudence.

One name linked to the Catalan side in recent months is Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi. The 28-year-old Argentine centre-back is yet to decide his next move and will see out his contract with Bournemouth, giving him the freedom to carefully weigh his options ahead of the summer.

Over recent months, Senesi has also been linked with several clubs. Premier League sides such as Chelsea, as well as other European clubs, are reported to be monitoring his situation closely.

However, according to TeamTalk (via Mundo Deportivo), Senesi and his entourage continue to consider Barcelona a potential destination. The chance to play for the Catalan giants remains appealing, and the club’s interest is being carefully considered.

Barcelona are currently looking to strengthen their central defense, ideally with a left-footed player to serve as a long-term partner for Pau Cubarsi after the departure of Inigo Martinez last summer, and Senesi fits this profile.

However, the club’s sporting objectives and institutional matters, including the ongoing electoral process and the situation of other centre-back targets, will all play a role in determining whether a move for Senesi can materialize.
