Liverpool<\/a> are now making moves to sign Marcos Senesi, with the defender poised to leave AFC Bournemouth on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

Reds stepping up pursuit of Bournemouth star Marcos Senesi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds have already strengthened their defence ahead of the summer transfer window, with Jeremy Jacquet set to complete a move to Anfield on July 1st, but they are eager to make another new addition at centre-back.<\/p>\n

That is according to a report from Sports Boom, which reveals Richard Hughes is pushing hard behind the scenes to sign Senesi<\/a>, with his Bournemouth contract set to expire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The Cherries haven’t given up on retaining the Argentinian, despite him rejecting three contract offers, and they are preparing a fourth proposal, having emerged as surprise contenders for the Champions League places.<\/p>\n

However, as things stand, it is looking ‘increasingly likely’ the centre-back won’t remain at the Vitality Stadium beyond the summer, with Liverpool and Newcastle United ready to make moves.<\/p>\n

\"Senesi-Bournemouth\"<\/p>\n

The Concordia-born defender has played a major role in Bournemouth’s push for Europe, being lauded as “absolutely outstanding” by B\/R Football’s Seb Martin<\/a> for the role he played in the 2-1 victory against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in April.<\/p>\n

The three-cap Argentina international has missed just one Premier League<\/a> match all season, which was due to suspension, and he has played 3,110 minutes, which is the second-highest of any outfield player in the Bournemouth squad.<\/p>\n

As such, Senesi, who rakes in \u00a350k-a-week<\/a>, has the necessary experience to succeed at Anfield, and having only recently turned 29, he may have a number of years remaining at this level.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s interest stems from the uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konate, with the Frenchman’s contract also set to expire in the summer, and there has now been a new update on his future.<\/p>\n

Although Konate is yet to pen a new deal, journalist Graeme Bailey<\/a> has suggested the centre-back could still remain at Anfield beyond the end of the campaign, saying: \u201cTEAMtalk understands the primary sticking points currently centre around the structure of Konate\u2019s signing-on package and the associated agent commissions involved in the agreement. Those discussions are ongoing and remain delicate, although both parties are still actively working towards a resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher<\/a> may not be too upset if the centre-back does move on, having slammed Arne Slot<\/a> for the “sackable offence” of starting him against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League earlier this season.<\/p>\n
