Remains to be seen whether Barca will have the financial freedom and if they can actually reach an agreement with Inter Milan for Bastoni in the summer. And if they do, I hope this doesn’t mean Barca will just pass up on Senesi without even trying.
Senesi is just too good of a market opportunity to miss out on. PL-proven, an Argentina NT squad player, accustomed to playing in a high-pressing team, and still only 29 if he arrives in summer.
He’s not perfect, but it’s not every day you can find a tremendous ball-playing centre back like him for free in the market. And when we take into account the success Flick had with Iñigo Martínez, Senesi, who shares similar traits, would be a no-brainer low-risk signing.
We’ve seen how much free-agent signings have helped Barca in recent years. Just because Barca will be in a better financial position doesn’t mean they should stop making smart operations.
With Christensen and Araújo’s futures up in the air this summer, Senesi would be a great addition, even purely for squad depth.
