The "talkSPORT" website reported that Chelsea has added Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi to their list of options to strengthen the defense, as the team continues to restructure under the leadership of coach Liam Rosenior.

Sensi's contract ends in June 2026, and he is under close watch by Chelsea, who are looking to secure a defensive alternative in case the initial deal with Rennes to sign French defender Jérémy Jacquet, the team's primary target, falls through.

The 28-year-old Argentine international is considered a good opportunity given that his contract is expiring and there is no agreement for renewal, which might prompt Bournemouth to benefit financially from selling him rather than losing him for free.

The same source indicated that Barcelona and Juventus have shown interest in Sensi, considering him a left-back with the ability to play in a high defensive line, which suits Barcelona's style under Hans Flick. Meanwhile, Juventus values his experience in the Italian league and the possibility of signing him for a reasonable fee.

Although Chelsea still prefers to complete the deal for Jacque, the complexity of the negotiations makes Sensi now a realistic and available option for the London team.
