Hughes eyes Senesi to bolster Liverpool defence

Liverpool’s manager Richard Hughes is reportedly preparing a rival offer for free‑agent centre‑back Marcos Senesi after Tottenham showed interest. The move comes as Liverpool face the potential loss of Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.

Liverpool are monitoring the free‑agent status of Marcos Senesi, the 28‑year‑old centre‑back who left Bournemouth after four seasons. The Argentina international, known for his passing ability, had verbally agreed to a move to Tottenham should they avoid relegation. Manager Richard Hughes, who signed Senesi when he was at Bournemouth, is said to be preparing a rival offer to keep the defender at Anfield.

The potential signing comes amid Liverpool’s looming defensive changes, with Ibrahima Konate’s contract expiring this summer and senior centre‑backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez set to leave in 2027. Hughes aims to add experience to a backline that could otherwise be thin. sos-zagle.org.pl
