Liverpool look ready to announce another high-profile exit. That’s if reports are true that a new signing is imminent.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will both leave Liverpool in the summer. Robertson's contract expires and he won't be agreeing a new one, while Salah has agreed with the club to terminate his a year early.
But they may not be the only ones departing. It now looks very likely that either - maybe both - of Ibrahima Konate or Joe Gomez will move on.
Konate's contract expires at the end of the season, of course, while Gomez has just a year remaining on his. Gomez nearly left the club last summer, in fact, but Liverpool's failure to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace stopped a move to AC Milan.
This time around, we expect something to happen, if only because reports continue to grow that a new centre-back is on the way. The i Paper is the latest to suggest that Liverpool are high on Marcos Senesi.
Not just high on him, in fact, but leading the race. It's a sign that a new centre-back is high on the agenda - and that's notable.
Virgil van Dijk isn't going anywhere, while Jeremy Jacquet will join the club properly in the summer. Giovanni Leoni will make his return later this year, too.
So that's three centre-backs. Konate and Gomez makes it five - a lot for a position where Liverpool typically only play two. So signing Senesi, too? That's six for two roles.
The interest in Sensi only makes any sense if someone is leaving. Perhaps that's Konate, perhaps that's Gomez, or perhaps it's a real sign that Liverpool will part from both.
Bournemouth Performance and Statistical Overview
Marcos Senesi has maintained his status as a defensive bedrock for AFC Bournemouth throughout the 2025–2026 campaign. As of 16 April 2026, the 28-year-old Argentine international has started 31 Premier League matches, recording four assists and nine clean sheets. Renowned for his ball-playing ability, Senesi ranks in the 95th percentile for chances created among centre-backs, boasting a total of 1,919 completed passes and a 78% accuracy rate. Defensively, he has remained highly active, contributing 54 tackles, 48 interceptions, and 224 clearances. His individual form has been a highlight for the Cherries, notably helping the side secure a 2–1 victory away at Arsenal on 11 April 2026.
Contract Status and Impending Free Agency
The future of the "Gladiator" has become a major talking point as he enters the final weeks of his current contract, which is set to expire in June 2026. Reports on 15 April confirm that Senesi has decided against a contract extension at the Vitality Stadium, a decision seemingly accelerated by manager Andoni Iraola’s confirmed departure at the end of the season. Liverpool have emerged as the frontrunners to sign the defender on a free transfer, with Richard Hughes reportedly viewing him as a cost-effective solution to bolster a backline facing multiple exits. While Manchester United and Chelsea have previously monitored his situation, Liverpool’s pole position suggests Senesi may follow in the footsteps of several former Cherries making the move to Anfield.
