Marcos Senesi, on brink of Tottenham move: deal hinges on relegation | OneFootball

Bournemouth captain agreed to join the London club 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 reinforcement for next season. The left-footed defender, currently in excellent form at Bournemouth, would arrive to fill the spot that Cristian “Cuti” Romero could possibly leave vacant. However, it is a “gentlemen’s agreement” with one non-negotiable condition: Spurs must avoid relegation for the signing to be finalized.

The situation for the London team is critical. They are currently in 18th place with 31 points, occupying the last direct relegation spot, just two points behind West Ham. The team, currently managed by Michael Carrick on an interim basis, is coming off a dramatic draw against Brighton and is dealing with Cuti Romero’s injury absence, which sped up 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 spell of his career: he is a key figure in England and has played 35 matches 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 leap to a “Big Six” club. In the meantime, his absolute priority is Bournemouth’s finish to the season and earning a place in the 26-man squad
