Argentine star will be Richard Hughes' next signing after Jeremy Jacquet

Jeremy Jacquet is set to be just the first of several arrivals at Liverpool this summer.

The club have already reached an agreement for his move in July, with the young defender expected to add much-needed depth to a position where options are currently limited.

However, Jacquet will not be the only new addition at centre-back, and further reinforcements are clearly on the agenda.

There is increasing uncertainty surrounding a number of Liverpool’s current defenders.

Ibrahima Konate could leave with his contract winding down and no extension in place, while Joe Gomez continues to attract interest. He came close to joining AC Milan last summer, and with his deal running until 2027, the club may be tempted to cash in while his value remains strong.

Should those departures materialise, Liverpool will have little choice but to strengthen further in defence. The need would go beyond squad depth, requiring proven quality and reliability to maintain competitiveness.

Encouragingly, there is a clear option available, one who brings both experience and composure at the highest level, without requiring a significant transfer outlay. In what is shaping up to be a transitional window, smart recruitment in defence could prove crucial to Liverpool’s ambitions moving forward.

The obvious solution is Marcos Senesi.

According to a new report from Caught Offside Liverpool are in talks to sign Senesi as a free agent this summer. Although Chelsea and Tottenham are also in discussions with the Argentine star.

But out of those three clubs right now, Anfield makes the most sense for Senesi.

This is a move that also makes a lot of sense for Liverpool.

Why?

Senesi's contract expires in the summer, meaning he will be a free agent. He already has a lot of experience in the Premier League and he's also versatile, capable of playing in a number of different roles across the back four.

Most importantly, Arne Slot knows him well. Senesi worked together with him at Feyenoord during the 2021/22 season before he departed the Dutch side.

Given Liverpool are going to have two very young centre-backs in Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni, bringing in Senesi makes a lot of sense.

By the time summer arrives, he’ll be 29 - an age profile Liverpool don’t typically prioritise given their long-term planning.

But there are exceptions to every rule. Players like James Milner and Wataru Endo have shown that sometimes experience can be just as valuable as potential.

If Liverpool are looking to strengthen their depth, particularly with the possible departures of Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez, bringing in someone like Senesi makes a lot of sense. He offers reliability, maturity, and a wealth of experience.

It’s also worth highlighting that Senesi remains somewhat underrated. Over the past few seasons, he’s been a crucial figure for Bournemouth, often going under the radar despite his consistent performances.

While Dean Huijsen and Ilya Zabarnyi attracted much of the attention last season, Senesi quietly played a vital role in what was a strong campaign for the Cherries.

All things considered, this is a move that fits on multiple levels. With Jacquet already set to arrive, Senesi could well be the next through the doors at the AXA Training Centre.
