UMVA has learned that Marcos Senesi, a highly sought-after defender, will be leaving AFC Bournemouth as a free agent this summer.
The news has been confirmed by the Cherries, with the club stating that Senesi's departure marks the end of a four-year tenure on the south coast.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Senesi's decision to leave Bournemouth has been a long time coming, with sources hinting that he had decided not to sign a new contract with the club several months ago.
The Argentine's impending departure comes as a blow to Bournemouth, who have already seen key players such as Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez leave the club in the past year.
But Senesi's next move is already being hotly anticipated, with Tottenham reportedly having an agreement in place to sign him as a free agent - provided they avoid relegation.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in the defender, who has impressed for Bournemouth and will surely be a valuable addition to any team's backline.
The departure of Senesi will be a significant loss for Bournemouth, who will be hoping to secure Champions League qualification in their final two matches of the season to help retain some of their best players.
However, it remains to be seen who will be the next to follow Senesi out of Bournemouth, with the club's manager Andoni Iraola also set to leave at the end of the season.
With several big clubs already eyeing up Senesi's services, it's clear that his departure from Bournemouth is only the beginning of a busy summer of transfer activity.
