The good transfer window continues its overview and heads towards Madrid. The most entertaining series of articles on 90min is back to help French and foreign clubs. A little reminder of the concept. We offer you an exceptional opportunity to grab for a team in Ligue 1, Ligue 2 or elsewhere during the next transfer window.
Obviously, it concerns an outstanding position or a request from the coach. On the Real Madrid side, the tension is palpable in central defense. Recent injuries push the Merengue to act to recruit an experienced manager and quickly. This is why we propose the name of Marcos Senesi.
You missed it and we did too, the good transfer window has made its comeback several weeks ago. Fifth episode with a view to the 2025 winter market concerning Real Madrid. The reigning European champion is plagued by injuries in central defense. Eder Militao suffered another cruciate ligament rupture while David Alaba has still not returned from injury. The young Raul Asencio is not entirely satisfactory while Joan Martinez is also in the infirmary.
A profile is expected to strengthen the defensive rotation and we propose the name of Marcos Senesi.
Marcos Senesi is one of the great architects of Bournemouth's crazy start to the season (currently 5th). The 27-year-old Argentine defender boasts impressive stats in almost every basic defensive area. His placement is often optimal in the Premier League as he displays an above-average intervention rate. In terms of successful tackles, he is one of the European elite, making more than three moves per match on average.
It is especially in terms of recovery that Senesi shines. Indeed, he manages to create a lot of offensive movements with his left paw. For progressive passes (breaking lines), you can hardly find better. The former Feyenoord Rotterdam player is at the origin of six clean restarts of this style per match in the PL. In a championship renowned for its intense pressing, this is very impressive. By taking so many risks, he necessarily displays more waste in passes with 76% success. Like Antonio Rüdiger, the Argentine rock likes to project himself into the area touching two balls within the opposing thirty meters.
His experience no longer needs to be demonstrated. Senesi has 27 years of experience accumulated in Europe. After three seasons in the Eredivisie playing in every possible European competition, he is now at the head of the fifth best defense in England this season and has played more than 50 matches in the PL.
Marcos Senesi will not cost thousands with 27 years on the clock. Its price is estimated at around 25 million euros. Bournemouth risks selling it for 30 or 35 units in January. His profile is rare: experienced, calibrated for big meetings and left-handed. His height is not a problem with his 85 meter.
Real Madrid will certainly have no trouble convincing the player to sign, the club will have to resolve to negotiate. The Cherries are not known to be strong negotiators and should access healthy discussions with the Merengue. For an affordable price, without breaking the bank, Real would recruit what it has been lacking since David Alaba's injury: a left-handed defender.
Senesi obviously speaks Spanish and will be able to integrate easily into the Madrid locker room. It is one of the most interesting options on the market offering more guarantees than Castello Lukeba for example. The other option that we checked was Piero Hincapié (Bayer 04) but his contract has just been extended. So, convinced?
