Feyenoord keep on selling their last year’s players to clubs from the Premier League. First, Tyrell Malacia went to Manchester United for 15 million euros, then Luis Sinisterra signed for Leeds for 25 million and today Bournemouth completed the transfer of stopper Marcos Senesi for 15 million euros. The gladiator tattoo that the Argentinian stopper has on the right side of his back helped the club from Vitality Stadium announce his transfer, with a line from the legendary movie when Russell Crowe roars at the crowd in Rome’s Colosseum.Are you not entertained? 😏 pic.twitter.com/ZXJ4x1nTj8— AFC Bournemouth 🍒 (@afcbournemouth) August 8, 2022 With 56.3 million euros so far, Feyenoord has broken the record of cash inflow from the sale of football players in one transfer period, but the question is how competitive they will be for the highest ranking in the Eredivisie, that is, the qualification further from the group in the Europa League. However, this summer, Feyenoord lost the top scorer of the Conference League Cyriel Dessers (loan expired), a killer left winger, a left back and a standard sweeper. Jakub Rasmussen arrived on loan from Fiorentina to replace Senesi, Feyenoord bought a few more players; the impression is, however, of lower quality than last season’s players.By coming to the Premier League, Senesi became the seventh biggest purchase in the history of Bournemouth, and the fourth most expensive sale of the giants from Rotterdam. The Cherries haven’t bought too many players so far. Midfielder Marcus Tavernier was signed for 11.9 million euros, goalkeeper Neto, right-back Ryan Fredericks and midfielder Joe Rothwell arrived without compensation, so Senesi is the fifth signing of the returnee to the Premier League.##NAJAVA_MECA_6554827##Bournemouth were seriously troubled at the stopper position because, apart from captain Lloyd Kelly, they only had Chris Mapham and James Hill available. Now they got a staunch Argentinian capable of contributing, apart from the basic defensive tasks, in the attack as well. This is confirmed by the figures of two goals and two assists each in the Eredivisie last season.
