Tottenham and Juventus have both submitted offers to Marcos Senesi, who is set to leave Bournemouth as a free agent this summer.
The Argentina international is out of contract this summer, with the Cherries set to lose him for free just 12 months on from selling both Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi.
Initial reports had suggested staying in the Premier League was his preferred choice, but the defender revealed this week that is not the case.
“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.”
That could be a blow to Tottenham given the interest from abroad, with the Lilywhites hoping to upgrade their backline on the cheap this summer with free deals for both Senesi and Andy Robertson.
And now journalist Mirko Di Natale has revealed there are two offers on the table, one from Spurs and one from Serie A giants Juventus.
However, Juve's four-year contract has not reached the same salary as the North Londoners, seemingly putting Roberto De Zerbi's side still in the driver's seat.
Senesi was praised by BBC Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy earlier this season, who said: "His distribution from the back is phenomenal."
Now a 3-cap full international, his ability to play through the lines has seen him register five assists so far this season, and he now has the ball in his court to choose his next destination.
De Zerbi says Tottenham are good enough to stay up
De Zerbi has warned Tottenham’s relegation rivals not to count them out and promised there will be no crying at the club over more injury problems this season.
Spurs secured a first Premier League win in 16 matches at Wolves on Saturday, but it was quickly followed by Xavi Simons (knee) being ruled out for the majority of 2026 while Dominic Solanke is also out with a hamstring issue.
Ahead of Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa, De Zerbi started his press conference with a four-minute monologue about silencing negativity and reiterated his belief 18th-placed Tottenham can stay up.
“I watched you. I watched you this week,” De Zerbi told a Sky Sports reporter.
“Listen, I want to be clear one time. The most important challenge now is to silence the voice inside of us, inside of the players, inside of the staff and inside of the fans. This voice can produce negative thoughts.
“The voice says, ‘we are unlucky, we have too many injuries, we lost Xavi Simons and he was the last two games one of the best players and most important players for us, our medical staff is not good enough and the pitch of the stadium is not good, the pitch of the training ground is not good, it is impossible to win two or three games in a row because we have not won too many games in 2026’. I think it is all negative things and it is rubbish.
“We go to play against one of the best teams in this moment in the Premier League. We have a big respect for Emery as a coach, but if Tottenham win in Villa Park, it is not a miracle.
“Maybe we lose, I don’t know, but we have the quality to win this game and it is not a miracle, so I think we have to be positive and to be lucky because we are working in a big club.
“I heard no, that it is impossible, we are crying everyone and we are relegated. But no, not yet. And we have to die on the pitch and to die on the pitch we have to lose the game.
“Before we lose the game we have to play, we have to fight and we have two points less than West Ham, but West Ham have to play difficult games as well like us.
“For that, OK it is not the best moment for us, it is a tough moment, a difficult moment, but the losers cry. The losers think negative. I don’t want people close to me crying or to think in a different way to me.
“We are good enough to win the games and we are good enough to stay up.”
