It seems that Marcos Senesi is in his last months as a player for Feyenoord. La Gazzetta dello Sport picks up Tuesday namely with the story that the Argentinian defender has given his word to Napoli. In Italy there is talk of a transfer fee of fifteen million euros, a nice amount for Feyenoord during the corona crisis. Both clubs still have to reach a final agreement.
Senesi is seen by Gennaro Gattuso and Cristiano Giuntoli, respectively trainer and technical director of Napoli, as the ideal successor to Kalidou Koulibaly. The Senegal center-back appears to be on his way to the Serie A number five exit, despite an ongoing commitment that will expire in the summer of 2023. Liverpool would, according to various foreign media, have fifty million euros for Koulibaly. However, it remains to be seen whether chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis is willing to sell him for such an amount.
The Napoli president asked for eighty million euros for Koulibaly last summer, as a result of which Manchester United, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain dropped out in the hunt for the physically strong man-driver. De Laurentiis hopes according to La Gazzetta dello Sport to keep between 100 and 110 million euros from the sale of Koulibaly and Fabián Ruiz. The Spanish midfielder was previously mentioned at Real Madrid and now there seems to be concrete interest from Atlético Madrid. However, due to the financial consequences of the corona crisis, it is still the question whether Napoli will actually be able to close several million deals this summer.
Senesi clarified his near future in an interview with it last week Algemeen Dagblad. “I would like to make one thing clear right away. I have not spoken to anyone, I am fully involved with Feyenoord. This club must conquer a ticket for European football. We will do everything we can. If I perform well, the Copa America is a real possibility. So there is still a lot to be gained for the club and for me. Technical director Frank Arnesen is said to be in the process of extending Senesi’s contract until 2023 and talks about this should be held with the father of the central defender.
“I also read quotes from people who associate me with clubs. I can be very clear about this too: only my father represents my interests,” Senesi added last week. The Feyenoord defender was possibly referring to statements by Stefano Antonelli. He recently spoke out about interested clubs as one of the defender’s supervisors. “Napoli? I hold Cristiano Giuntoli and Gennaro Gattuso very highly,” Antonelli told Radio Marte. “Whether Senesi is their first option from a defensive point of view? That could very well. But Inter also knows him quite well now. AC Milan is currently in talks with Alessio Romagnoli about contract extension, but that club is also following Senesi’s performance with great interest. . “
