Barcelona and Atlético Target Bournemouth's Senesi as 2026 Exit Looms

Barcelona weigh a January move after Andreas Christensen's injury, with Atlético positioning for a pre-contract.

Overview

  • Marcos Senesi has told Bournemouth he intends to leave in 2026 after rejecting renewal offers, according to multiple reports.
  • Barcelona have placed the 28-year-old on a winter shortlist for centre-back cover following Christensen’s setback, Spanish reports say.
  • Atlético Madrid have added Senesi to their list under sporting director Mateu Alemany, with a summer pre-contract viewed as an option.
  • Bournemouth accept they are likely to lose a defensive leader and have begun replacement planning, with Nathan Ake, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Dara O’Shea among those linked.
  • A move to Spain is considered the most likely outcome, though Bournemouth are seen as unlikely to approve a modest-fee January exit while he remains a regular.
