Borussia Dortmund and Juventus have been knocked back with the player set to join Tottenham instead, according to a new report.
Spurs aggressively pursue summer signings despite relegation threat
Despite remaining in danger of relegation with just four games remaining in the Premier League, Roberto De Zerbi and others are taking advantage of some opportunities on the market.
Tottenham are scrambling to make plans for the summer, with the full picture of Spurs’ recruitment slowly becoming clearer.
De Zerbi’s side are already working to secure a verbal agreement with Liverpool legend and Scotland captain Andy Robertson, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.
The experienced left-back has been included in the line-up as part of Spurs’ defensive shake-up and personal terms are thought to have been agreed in principle ahead of his departure from Anfield.
Tottenham’s last four Premier League games | date |
|---|---|
Aston Villa (away) | May 3rd |
Leeds (home) | May 11th |
Chelsea (away) | May 17th |
Everton (home) | May 24th |
Similarly, the club is also reported to be linked with Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, and each time their top-flight status is confirmed, they have submitted a two-year contract offer to the German international, with the aim of building a team that can compete convincingly from next season (Calciomercato).

Spurs are keeping busy despite being in danger of relegation.
More details are emerging about another important piece of this summer’s puzzle.
Marcos Senesi rejects Dortmund and Juventus to join Tottenham
Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi has rejected contract offers from Borussia Dortmund and Juventus as the Argentine prioritizes a move to north London, according to CaughtOffside.
The 28-year-old is set to become a free agent when his contract at the Vitality Stadium expires and has already confirmed he will not sign a new contract with the Cherries.
Both German and Italian clubs have shown strong interest and pushed for his signature, but Tottenham are thought to be in a better position, with Senesi aware their offers fall short of what he wants.
Spurs are said to be in “advanced negotiations” with Senesi’s camp, but a deal has yet to be signed despite reports that a verbal agreement has been reached.
According to industry insiders, both sides are taking things forward and Tottenham want to move over the line, but there is one key factor that will determine everything.
If the Spurs fall, things will change dramatically.
Liverpool are also said to be interested in Senesi, and reports suggest he has not been completely ruled out yet, as the Merseysiders look to increase their defensive cover, regardless of whether Ibrahima Konate stays.
A loss to the Lilywhites would give manager Arne Slott’s side a path back into the battle for Senesi’s signature, so Spurs remain favorites at the moment.
Robertson, Goretzka, Senesi — the basics are there. The question is whether Spurs can perform well enough on the pitch to make it meaningful.
