Juventus have taken the first concrete step in their pursuit of Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, as the Argentine prepares to leave the Premier League side on a free transfer this summer.
The 26-year-old centre-back will see his contract with Bournemouth expire on 30 June, making him free to negotiate with other clubs. His situation has not gone unnoticed in Europe, with several teams showing interest in securing his signature without a transfer fee.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have now tabled their first written offer to the player. Following positive initial contacts in recent weeks, the Italian club have decided to act quickly, aiming to convince Senesi with both an attractive contract proposal and a clear sporting project. The intention is to secure an early agreement and fend off competition from other suitors.
Juventus’ interest comes amid growing competition for the Argentine’s services. Serie A rivals Roma are also monitoring Senesi’s situation, while European heavyweights such as Barcelona and several Premier League clubs have been linked with the defender. With financial firepower on their side, some of these clubs could pose a real challenge to Juventus’ bid.
For now, the race is open and Juventus have made their move. Whether Senesi will choose to continue his career in Serie A or remain in the Premier League is yet to be seen, but the Bianconeri have made their intentions clear — they want him in Turin.
