As revealed by the British media Talk Sport, Senesi once again sounded loudly in the corridors of Stamford Bridge. The Bournemouth defender, who is having a great time in the Premier League, is one of those targeted by the Chelsea leadership to prioritize the central defense.
However, the blue team will not have it easy. According to the same report, Chelsea has already discussed his signing internally, but it is competing against two giants that are following it closely: Juventus of Italy and Barcelona of Spain, who would be “seriously exploring” its hiring.
What makes Senesi one of the most sought-after players on the market is his contractual situation. The former San Lorenzo player is free in June, which means that, having not renewed with Bournemouth, any club outside of England can now negotiate with him so that he arrives for free in mid-2026.
Although Chelsea usually look for younger players, the level of the 28-year-old center back (he turns 29 in May) would have tempted the managers to add a share of leadership and command voice in a squad that is currently going through a lot of uncertainty after the departure of coach Enzo Maresca and the arrival of Liam Rosenior as a replacement on the bench.
