We\u2019ve discussed him many times. He won\u2019t renew and will leave on a free transfer \u2013 Bournemouth already know this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had already mentioned quite clearly here that Senesi would stay in the Premier League. There has been and still is some interest from Italy, but he will remain in England. I\u2019m told\u2014and it\u2019s confirmed 100%\u2014that the Argentine defender intends to stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been performing very well at Bournemouth. His career was slowed by some significant injuries, but once he regained fitness and form, he\u2019s shown all his quality in the Premier League.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spurs-may-have-to-battle-two-premier-league-rivals-for-senesi\">Spurs may have to battle two Premier League rivals for Senesi<\/h2>\n<p>Some outlets have said that Tottenham\u2019s move for the Cherries defender can still be hijacked by other Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n<p>This has now been backed up by Moretto, who named Chelsea and Liverpool as the two other clubs plotting a move for Senesi.<\/p>\n<p>The journalist added about the Argentine defender\u2019s future: \u201cSenesi will stay in the Premier League, and beyond the two clubs I already mentioned\u2014Chelsea and Tottenham, especially Tottenham, Liverpool have also entered the race quite strongly in recent days. So keep an eye on Liverpool, because they\u2019re expected to make new contacts for Marcos Senesi. As for Italy, it\u2019s not really a concrete option right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listen to Moratto\u2019s full comments on Senesi\u2019s future below:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83d\udea8 CONTE: GLI AGGIORNAMENTI!
