Borussia Dortmund and Juventus have been rejected by a player who has been selected to join Tottenham instead, according to a new report.
Spurs are actively pursuing summer signings despite the threat of a postponement
Despite the constant threat of relegation with four Premier League games left to play, Roberto De Zerbi and co are taking some chances in the market.
Tottenham are making their summer plans with increasing urgency, and the recruitment picture at Spurs is coming into focus.
De Zerbi’s side have already moved to secure a verbal deal with Andy Robertson, the Liverpool legend and Scotland captain who will be free at the end of the season.
The experienced left-back has been lined up as part of a defensive overhaul at Spurs, with personal terms understood to have been agreed ahead of his Anfield departure.

Similarly, the team has also been linked with Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who have submitted a two-year contract proposal to the Germany international as they look to build a squad that can compete satisfactorily next term, whenever their fitness is confirmed (Calciomercato).
Tottenham have made a bid to sign Bayern Munich star Robertson and Senesi
Spurs were busy despite being in danger of losing.
More details are also emerging about another important piece of that summer puzzle.
Marcos Senesi turned down Dortmund and Juventus for Tottenham
According to CaughtOffside, Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi has pulled out of a deal from Borussia Dortmund and Juventus as the Argentine prioritizes a move to north London.
The 28-year-old will be a free agent when his contract at the Vitality Stadium expires, as he has confirmed that he will not sign a new contract with the Cherries.
Both German and Italian clubs have registered strong interest and are pushing for him, but Senesi is understood to have found their offers short of what he needs, leaving Tottenham well placed to cash in.
Spurs are said to be in ‘advanced talks’ with Senesi’s camp, although a deal has yet to be sealed despite widespread reports of a verbal deal.
Industry sources indicate that both teams are taking things forward, with Tottenham keen to go ahead – but one important thing hangs over everything.
When Spurs go down, it changes the picture a lot.
Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Senesi, and reports suggest that the Merseysider has not yet fully ruled out as they look to add defensive cover even if Iraima Konate stays.
If the Lilywhites go down, it gives Arne Slot’s side a route back into the battle for Senesi’s signature, so being favorites now Spurs is conditional.
Robertson, Goretzka and Senesi – the foundation is there. The question is whether Spurs can do enough on the field to make it count.
