Everton are reportedly targeting Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi as a likely free transfer this summer. If completed, punters may shorten Everton’s odds for conceding fewer goals next season and consider backing a higher-table finish or markets like ‘clean sheets’ for new signings, given the expected defensive upgrade.
Everton step up interest in Marcos Senesi ahead of summer window
Everton have emerged as strong contenders to sign Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi when his contract expires this summer. The 28-year-old has been linked with Merseyside before, and the club see a free transfer as an opportunity to add a proven defensive option without a large transfer outlay.
Why Senesi suits Everton’s needs
Senesi offers experience and consistency at centre-back, attributes that would address Everton’s long-standing defensive concerns. A low-cost acquisition would allow the club to reinvest elsewhere in the squad while strengthening the spine of the team — an appealing proposition for a side aiming to stabilise results and push up the table.
Friedkin Group interest and competition from Roma
Reports indicate the Friedkin Group — which has links to both Everton and Roma — is monitoring Senesi closely, with Roma also labelled a heavyweight contender for his signature. That dynamic could shape where Senesi lands, as ownership influences and competing proposals from Serie A and other Premier League clubs are expected.
Transfer mechanics and likely timeline
With Senesi’s contract running down, a free transfer becomes the most plausible outcome once the summer window opens. The defender and his representatives are likely to evaluate offers carefully, weighing guaranteed playing time, European football prospects and long-term project stability before committing.
Betting implications for punters
A move for Senesi would likely be priced into markets involving Everton’s defensive record and league positioning. Punters might react by shortening Everton’s odds in “fewer goals conceded” markets or nudging bets on improved clean-sheet tallies. Markets tied to Everton finishing higher in the table could also see movement if the signing is confirmed.
What to watch next
Key indicators to monitor in the coming weeks include official approaches, player statements, and whether rival clubs lodge formal bids. Everton supporters and analysts will be watching whether the club can convert interest into a confirmed signing that materially strengthens their backline for next season.
