One of these options has been Marcos Senesi, who will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season when his contract expires. Numerous clubs have set their eyes on the Argentine centre-back, although it has been reported that his preferred destination would be the Spotify Camp Nou.

But with Barcelona betting on Bastoni, this has meant that the Senesi option has fallen by the wayside. Therefore, Senesi is no longer waiting for the Catalans to make their move, as reported by Sky Germany (via Sport).
Senesi agrees to join Tottenham Hotspur, with one condition
Senesi, on the other hand, will remain in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur. He has agreed a pre-contract with the London club, although he will cancel it if Roberto De Zerbi’s team is relegated this season: they are currently two points behind with only four games remaining.
Even if Senesi’s deal with Spurs is cancelled, Barcelona are not expected to emerge as an option. There are reports that a move to Italy would be his alternative, which is bad news for Atletico Madrid, who have also shown interest in the Bournemouth defender in recent months.

Should Barcelona fail to sign Bastoni this summer, Jon Martin is believed to be their back-up option now that Senesi appears to be off the table. The Real Sociedad defender’s representatives have already met with Deco in recent weeks, while the Catalans continue working on their transfer plans.
