Marcos Senesi (185cm/6’1”, 80kg/176lbs) has been one of the big winners of 2025/2026 thus far, with the current campaign looking likely to end up being Senesi’s most impactful season for AFC Bournemouth since his first in the Premier League.
Senesi has been with the Cherries since the summer of 2022, when he joined from Eredivisie side Feyenoord for €15m.
After a couple of injury-disrupted seasons, Senesi has stepped up for Bournemouth following the big-money summer departures of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid for €62.5m and Ilya Zabarnyi to PSG for €63m.
He’s been a near ever-present for Andoni Iraola this term, starting all of the Cherries’ league games so far at left centre-back.
His impressive performances in 2025/2026 earned the 28-year-old his first Argentina cap since 2022, potentially putting him in the picture for a place in Lionel Scaloni’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad.
