Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are keen on signing AFC Bournemouth star Marcos Senesi in the summer.
The Argentina international has just over two months left on his contract and his future is likely to be away from Bournemouth.
His contract situation and experience make him an attractive option for Tottenham, Aston Villa and several other clubs.
Last month, Sport Witness relayed news Aston Villa are offering a high salary to beat competition.
On April 9th, we covered claims from Italy of Tottenham and Unai Emery’s side being willing to propose €4m per year salary to the Bournemouth player.
Five days later, Sport Witness again covered claims of both Spurs and the Villans’ strong push for the free signing.
Encouragement for Tottenham and Aston Villa
Marcos Senesi has been speaking to Radio La Red AM 910 and Olé in Argentina have relayed his comments.
With a contract expiring in June, the centre-back is likely to leave Bournemouth for a new club in the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus are among his options. Senesi is open to staying in the Premier League but isn’t ruling out other options.
“I don’t have a league preference. Obviously, I like playing in the Premier League; I enjoy the competition, but I’m not ruling out playing in another league either. I told my agent to let me know when there’s something very clear and concrete,” he said.
The Bournemouth star says his teammates believe he’s already agreed a deal with a new club.
“My teammates get annoyed because they tell me I’ve probably already signed with a club. They don’t believe me when I say I still don’t know what I’m going to do,” Senesi explained.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side [now 18th] would have to continue in the Premier League to sign the 28-year-old.
