We haven't signed a CB from Brighton yet.   What a huge chance for our sporting directors.  😆

So far we have a GK, LB, CDM, ST.

💥🔵NEW Update from @MatteMoretto:

Chelsea and Tottenham are leading the race for Marcos Senesi to make a final decision next week or the week after.

Man United new are slightly behind Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the race for AFC Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi.

Juventus , Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund They had considered him, but for one reason or another, he’s now out of the running.

Hard pass even on a free

why?

he is a better CB than multiple ones we currently have

as long as his salary is reasonable I see little to no reason why pulling him on a free warrants a 'hard pass'

then a youth I wager we are looking at

Eli Junior Kroupi 

now, 2 years later:

 

https://thedailybriefing.io/p/eli-junior-kroupi-transfer-liverpool-Chelsea

Liverpool and Chelsea are among the clubs preparing to make a move for one of the most exciting young talents in Europe this summer.

After netting his 10th league goal of the season in yesterday’s surprise win at Arsenal, Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi is hot property on the transfer market.

The 19-year-old Frenchman has been a big hit since joining the Cherries last summer, and he’ll surely be their next big sale after they previously cashed in on the likes of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, and Antoine Semenyo.

I’d heard murmurings about Kroupi before yesterday, but you’d be amazed what big performances in important games can do for a player’s value. I can assure you it’s not just a cliché that selling clubs put a lot of emphasis on World Cups, to take an example that will be highly relevant this summer, in determining how much they can realistically make from a sale. Equally, buying clubs are, in fairness, likely to be even happier to pay once they’ve seen their targets impress in the matches that matter.

Liverpool and Chelsea step up Eli Junior Kroupi transfer pursuit

So, after doing a bit of digging after yesterday’s game, I was not too surprised to find growing interest in Kroupi, who has long been on the radar of top clubs, but who is now likely to be a priority target.

“Liverpool and Chelsea have a very concrete interest, they’re both really keen to make a deal happen this summer and are looking into it,” one source said.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool have already had some conversations,” another source told me. “Richard Hughes has a good relationship with his former club and will be on the phone to his counterparts there after that performance yesterday.”

Kroupi was superb against Arsenal, scoring the opening goal, and completing 12 of his 13 passes, whilst also working hard out of possession in a game that Bournemouth generally deserved to win.
