Aston Villa are pursuing Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi but face competition from Barcelona and Juventus.
last week, sports witness Covered the Argentine situation with the possibility of his signing from Unai Emery’s side. This was mainly for financial reasons, as Juventus would not be able to pay Senesi as much as the Birmingham club.
The Old Lady have made an initial offer to the defender, who has expressed an interest in a move to Turin. However, he is believed to be taking his time on any decision, perhaps waiting for something better to happen.
Today, tuttosport Dig deeper into the situation and Aston Villa are at the end of their fire.
Villains humiliated by Tuttosport
The newspaper has described Senesi as Juve’s backup to Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger. Although this sounds suspicious in itself, there is a belief that the move to the Bianconeri for Senesi is not at all easy.
Competition is not an issue but the Argentina international’s wage demands are. With Senesi demanding, Aston Villa will be able to afford what he wants and so will Barcelona €5m per season.
This figure is likely to be after tax.
Juve have informed the Bournemouth player’s squad that they will not pay it – especially if they finish outside the top four.
Furthermore, Tuttosport described Aston Villa as a ‘Clearly a less attractive club’ Compared to Juve. They also make it clear that if Senesi joins Barcelona, he will only be a backup option for the Catalans. If he joins Aston Villa, he believes it will only be for money.
These are reported as warnings, seen as ideal moves by Juve. He will provide a starting position in the backline. Turin can still offer regular Champions League football, even if the defender will not earn as much as he would like.
Our opinion: Juventus now nervous about a deal
Tuttosport’s report smacks of panic. This indicates that Juve are probably going nowhere with their interest in Senesi and are doing their best to discourage the player from joining other clubs.
At the moment, Aston Villa has every chance of qualifying for the Champions League. This makes the newspaper’s viewpoint even more ironic. While Juve is a more prestigious club, they have not even come close to winning the Scudetto in many years. Like Emery, they are also pushing for a Champions League place.
In a way, the move to Villa Park could guarantee Senesi more stability. Juve have become infamous for their lack of any recruitment or playing strategy, which is why they are where they are right now. Meanwhile, consistency has become a hallmark for Aston Villa under Emery.
