Bournemouth player’s agent spotted at match – Aston Villa dragged into chase
by Kaustubh Pandey · Sport WitnessMarcos Senesi’s Bournemouth future has increasingly been in doubt and it feels like his agent is doing the groundwork for a transfer, with Aston Villa also interested.
Sport Witness covered claims from Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday that spoke of Juventus’ offer for the defender. This was the Bianconeri’s attempt to beat competition from other clubs, with English clubs also in the race.
Terms on offer from the Italian giants were unknown but it has been clear that the Bournemouth player is very much in demand.
Corriere dello Sport now cover his situation, providing a background around the Argentine.
Entourage member spotted in Turin
The newspaper clarify that this isn’t the first time that Senesi has been wanted in Italy. In fact, he was also close to being called up to the Azzurri , qualifying via family, but he opted for Argentina.
When he was leaving Feyenoord, the defender was offered to clubs in Serie A. He ended up at Bournemouth but his agent could be attempting to seal a move to Italy.
A member of the player’s entourage was spotted in the stands during Juventus’ recent dominant win over Pisa. This is seen as a sign that Luciano Spalletti side’s are seriously exploring a move.
The newspaper speaks of competition from AS Roma and even Aston Villa, with Unai Emery’s side having come forward for the Argentina international. At the same time, Barcelona have also expressed interest in a deal.
Our take on Senesi’s future at Bournemouth
The Cherries player has clearly proven his worth this season. With two defenders having departed in the summer, he has showcased his ball-playing ability, which was also evident at Feyenoord in the past.
It now seems like the situation around the Bournemouth player is getting serious. His entourage is making attempts to get the best deal possible. Since he is a free agent in the summer, everything should come down to who pays most wages.
That is why interest from Aston Villa should be taken seriously. Italian clubs usually don’t pay high commissions, with English clubs known for doing the opposite. The same applies for wages too.
Considering all of that, Senesi could stay in the Premier League. Whether Emery’s side qualify for the Champions League or not can prove decisive in a move.
