Crystal Palace Eyeing Deal to Sign Marcos Senesi on a Free Transfer

Published

on


Crystal Palace are one of a number of Premier League clubs eyeing a potential bargain summer move for Bournemouth defender Marco Senesi, according to Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale.

It might have been expected that the Eagles would act in the remainder of the January transfer window after Marc Guehi left to join Manchester City, but the deadline passed without the south London bringing in a new centre-back.

While Brennan Johnson, Evann Guessand and Jorgen Strand Larsen arrived to bolster Oliver Glasner’s attack, the Austrian has been left to pick from Maxence Lacroix, Chris Richards and Jaydee Canvot at centre-back.

On Sunday, Palace midfielder Jefferson Lerma started out of position there in the 1-0 win against arch-rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.

Three Premier League Clubs ‘Most Interested’ in Senesi

While the Argentina defender found regular first-team minutes harder to come by at Bournemouth last term thanks to the performances of Dean Huijsen, the 28-year-old has come to the fore at the Vitality Stadium this season following the exit of the Spain international to Real Madrid.

Despite that, Senesi’s contract runs out at the end of the season and he is said to have turned down multiple offers from the Cherries to remain on the south coast.

Along with Crystal Palace, Everton and Chelsea are said to be the ‘most interested’ English clubs in the Argentine according to Di Natale, posting on X, with GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs revealing that the west London club have discussed moving for him.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is hopeful that the defender will stay despite the impasse in negotiations, while the player will know this could be one of his last chances to secure a move to a big club in his career.

Iraola’s future itself is still uncertain, despite Bournemouth president of football operations Tiago Pinto exclusively telling GIVEMESPORT that they want the Spaniard to stay beyond the expiry of his contract this summer.

Is Senesi Good Enough to Replace Guehi?

What is an immediate bonus with Senesi is that he does have that Premier League experience, which might not be the case if Palace decide to shop abroad in the summer.

That isn’t always a bad thing, as seen by how well Lacroix for example has adapted to English football, but the Bournemouth defender is a seasoned performer at this level now and he has also played in Europe too.

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT if Senesi would be a good replacement for Guehi at Selhurst Park, and this was its response.

  • Style of play: Senesi is left-footed, progressive, and aggressive stepping into midfield, which suits Palace’s build-up under a possession-leaning approach. However, he’s less composed in isolation than Guehi and can be rash defending space in transition.
  • Team philosophy: If Palace continue emphasizing structured buildup and higher defensive lines, Senesi’s passing range and comfort under pressure fit. Guehi, though, offers superior leadership and tactical discipline within a compact block.
  • Overall ability: Senesi brings Premier League experience and physicality, but Guehi’s consistency, recovery pace, and decision-making at elite level set a higher benchmark.

Man Utd Withdraw from Race for Mexican Teenager Gilberto Mora

Published

By


Manchester United have pulled out of yet another race during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have been in the market for a host of different players over the last few weeks, but they have been struggling to get deals over the line.

Elliot Anderson recently signed for Manchester City, while Mateus Fernandes joined Tottenham Hotspur, and they were two key targets for the Manchester club.

The lack of signings could be a concern for United supporters, especially as they are losing out to some of their rival clubs.

Missing out on signings to a club like Tottenham, with all due respect, will be a huge blow for United. Spurs are without any European football this season, but players are still picking Tottenham over them, perhaps due to financial reasons.

According to a report from Team Talk, Manchester United have now withdrawn from the race to sign Mexican youngster Gilberto Mora in the summer transfer window.

A number of clubs are showing an interest in the 17-year-old star this summer, and United have reportedly been tracking him for six months.

The report claims that United have withdrawn from entering the bidding due to the potential cost of a deal and the level of interest from other clubs.

It’s claimed that the valuation of Mora is set to exceed £34m, but with clubs such as Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Ajax, Manchester City, and Arsenal all linked with a move, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see that value increase.

Man Utd need to get a move on

As mentioned, United supporters must be getting frustrated with the lack of business they’ve been doing over the last few weeks.

Missing out on key targets is a huge blow, and they need to get deals over the line if they want to compete on all fronts next season.

The Manchester club qualified for Champions League football, meaning they need a deeper and more competitive squad in order to flourish.

With Casemiro departing and Manuel Ugarte suffering a serious injury, United undoubtedly need to bring in new midfielders in the coming weeks and months.

Man Utd Hold Talks to Seal £100m Double Deal for Tyler Adams and Andrey Santos

Published

Manchester United are stepping up their interest in strengthening their midfield options this summer, with Jason Wilcox leading the charge.

The Red Devils missed out on top targets Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes this summer, with the Englishman moving to Man City for £116m, while the Portuguese star joined Tottenham Hotspur for £85m too, after United refused to match those prices.

That has led the club to begin looking at potential alternative options, and it has now emerged that they are in talks about a £100m double deal for MIchael Carrick’s side.

Man Utd In Talks for £100m Double Midfield Signing

According to TEAMtalk, Man Utd are eyeing up a deal to sign Chelsea star Andrey Santos this summer after missing out on Fernandes and Anderson.

The Brazil international enjoyed a phenomenal season on loan with Strasbourg in 2024/25, but struggled for regular first-team minutes at Chelsea last season as he found himself behind Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and even Reece James in the midfield pecking order.

United have held talks with the player’s reps about a potential move to Old Trafford, and it’s understood that Chelsea are open to allowing him to leave for a fee of around £50m.

Alongside Santos, though, Man Utd are also eyeing another midfielder signing, and it has emerged that Bournemouth star Tyler Adams has emerged as a serious target for the club.

The American was brought up in talks between the clubs as United expressed an interest in Alex Scott, and have been informed that the Cherries would be open to a sale for around £50m.

United like his leadership and defensive qualities, and their data-led approach has seen him figure high up on their shortlist of targets.

Man Utd Targets Are Underwhelming

Tyler Adams

United have made it abundantly clear that they want to rebuild their midfield this summer, and that has led to inflated prices when it comes to them finding targets.

Santos is top young talent who has been on the shortlist at Old Trafford for a while, and with Ederson already arriving too, despite reports the deal has collapsed, there is plenty of defensive quality there.

That should see the next midfield signing be on the more offensive side of things, but Adams would be adding even more defensive qualities to a side that needs to be able to progress play forward and have cover for Kobbie Mainoo.

Fans are underwhelmed by the latest round of links after missing out on their top targets, and it makes sense. United must find a way to get the right deals over the line, not just any midfield signings, if they want to get back to competing at the top level.

Tottenham Offered Chance to Sign Dusan Vlahovic

Published

Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign a top star this summer alongside their pursuit of Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi.

Spurs have completed six signings already this summer, bringing in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali in deals worth in excess of £220m.

But the Lilywhites are still looking at other deals, with a mega offer being lined up to sign Kroupi despite Bournemouth not wanting to sell. However, the north London side are now looking at other forward options, which has seen them offered the chance to sign a household name.

Tottenham Offered Dusan Vlahovic

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign former Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer.

Vlahovic, who has been described as ‘one of the best strikers in the world’, recently left the Serie A giants after his contract expired, and is now searching for a new club, ideally in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old is attracting big interest from Turkish giants Besiktas, but Spurs are understood to be keeping a close eye on the situation as they assess their own forward options for the new season. Richarlison is expected to depart, while Randal Kolo Muani has left following the end of his loan spell.

Kroupi remains the club’s top target for the striker role, which could see any move for Vlahovic put on the back burner as a result.

But with the Serbian international available on a free transfer, it’s a deal that could emerge as a bargain considering the major expenditure being put out by the ownership to strengthen other areas of the squad during this window.

Vlahovic Would Be Excellent Plan B

Dominic Solanke is currently the first-choice and only senior striker in the Spurs squad, but if De Zerbi is able to get his way and complete a deal to sign Kroupi, the expectation is that the Frenchman would be first choice.

Solanke would be excellent competition for him, and offer a different profile, but Vlahovic has got a much better goalscoring record throughout his career, and he is the type of profile who is a bit of a hybrid between them both.

The likelihood is that Vlahovic’s wages and the fact he wouldn’t be an automatic starter are going to be a hurdle that needs overcoming, but if Kroupi doesn’t arrive then it makes a deal much more feasible, and it’s one to keep an eye on while he remains unattached.
