Chelsea is on the trail of a popular defender in the Premier League. The Blues have identified the player as a top target and are close to finalizing his arrival.
Chelsea is having another mediocre season. The club’s ongoing reconstruction since last season is progressing and is expected to continue this year. The focus is on the defense. Despite new faces added last year, the defensive sector struggles to stabilize. Several team observers have noted the absence of a true leader.
This assessment has prompted the club’s recruiters to search for a tough, versatile profile with quality and experience. According to information from England, Chelsea is tracking Marcos Senesi. The Argentine defender is in the final months of his contract with Bournemouth and is unlikely to extend.
Impressed by his left foot and distribution, Chelsea has made Senesi a priority after failing to secure Jérémý Jacquet. The London club is in advanced discussions with the player and an agreement is expected to be reached soon. If the deal goes through, Marcos Senesi should be Chelsea’s second summer signing after Valentin Barco, with whom an agreement was recently reached.
