The London Blues, Chelsea are eyeing another defender like Senesi who might be the solution for the club’s recent bad form. Chelsea are looking to sign Marcos Senesi from AFC Bournemouth, who can help the club to make it stronger and better. Todd Boehly himself is a big fan of the player as he has shown what he is capable of in the Premier League. It would be interesting to see if the club’s management can really sign the player.
The rising star Marcos Senesi has been in top form for both club and country, which impressed the Blues. He is well on his course to be in the World Cup squad of the defending champions Argentina. On the other hand, it hasn’t been the same scenario for the Blues, as they haven’t been the same since the start of 2026. As of now Chelsea have been eliminated from the FA Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the EFL. They are also out of the Premier League top spot by a mile, leaving them only to fight for a spot in next season’s UCL.
The Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior have identified that their problem may lie in their well-decorated backline. Thus, Liam Rosenior has requested to sign a defender who he thinks might solve the problem of the football club.
As per the reports, Chelsea have been pleased with the football Senesi has been playing in the Premier League lately. Bournemouth has already received an offer from the London Blues, who want to sign their defender at the end of the season.
Marco Senesi to replace a Chelsea player if things don’t change
According to the reports, Todd Boehly and Chelsea’s management are trying to bring in Marco Senesi so that they can replace Marc Cucurella. The Spanish defender Marc Cucurella has been a top player for the Blues for the past couple of seasons.
Cucurella’s man marking and ground breaking passes makes him one of the best players for the club. He has been the heart of Chelsea’s defense a long time now. Recently, due to his bad relationship with the club’s management, he is considering parting ways with the club. Surprisingly, Chelsea’s Todd Boehly is yet to make a decision on the Spanish defender’s future.
As per the reports, they are trying to sign Marco Senesi to replace the great Marc Cucurella. Fans are very worried and shocked at the same time about this situation regarding Cucurella. They believe that Cucurella is a non replaceable player of their squad and have shown their anger through social media. Chelsea’s management is expected to answer the fans in the coming weeks.
Which other clubs want the Argentine?
The Argentine defender Marco Senesi has impressed a lot of clubs all over the Europe with the PL performances. Several clubs will look to sign the player, and they expect him to leave Bournemouth. One of the top clubs which is after him is the Spanish giants and defending Laliga champions Barcelona. The Catalan club has its own problems with its defense as Flick believes the backline needs a change.
Barcelona are currently leading the race to sign the Argentine centre back from Bournemouth. In their last matchday, Pau Cubarsi tackled Simione, for which he got a straight red card in the first half of the game. This tackle could very well end Barcelona’s dream of winning the Champions League this season. Hansi Flick believes the addition of Senesi would boost the team in these tough situations. Although it won’t be easy for Barca, as the London Blues are after the defender too.

Marco Senesi would be a perfect fit for the Blues and can partner with Lewi Colwil. Chelsea’s management have a lot of work to do if they want to sign the Argentine.
