Tottenham open exploratory talks over Premier League centre-back, but Barcelona really want him
Tottenham Hotspur have reached out to a Premier League centre-back’s agent regarding a summer transfer, but the Lilywhites are in danger of falling behind in the transfer race.
With Spurs having yet another disastrous season domestically, the club may struggle to hold onto their best players in the summer.
Some reports have claimed there is panic at Tottenham about losing both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in the summer, which may be why the Lilywhites have set their sights on another Premier League defender.
Spurs have allegedly been impressed by Marcos Senesi, and it has been claimed by several sources over recent days that the Lilywhites could battle several Premier League sides for the Bournemouth man.
Tottenham have spoken to Marcos Senesi’s camp
The Argentine defender looks set to be one of the most sought-after players in the summer as his current deal with the Cherries runs out in June.
TEAMtalk have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of several clubs to have spoken to Senesi’s entourage over a summer deal.
They are not alone as Everton, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Sunderland have also contacted the 28-year-old’s representatives regarding a free transfer.
However, these discussions are described as ‘purely exploratory’, and it is revealed that Juventus and Napoli are also keeping an eye on the defender’s situation.
Barcelona are accelerating negotiations with Senesi
Spurs may have to hurry if they want to secure the Bournemouth man, as Barcelona have accelerated negotiations for the centre-back over recent weeks.
It is revealed that the Catalan club are now preparing an offer that is proving to be the ‘most intriguing’ to Senesi’s camp so far.
A source close to the Argentine’s situation is quoted as telling the outlet: “There is a lot of interest in Marcos, but when Barcelona are interested, that is tough to ignore. He has not ruled out anything as yet, but fair to say Barca is a huge lure.”
