Marcos Senesi has agreed to join Tottenham on a four-year contract, talkSPORT understands.
The Bournemouth defender will leave the Vitality Stadium when his contract expires on June 30.
talkSPORT understands the Cherries have been resigned to losing Senesi since he refused to sign a new deal in December.
The 29-year-old agreed to stay at the club in January despite interest from Chelsea and played all-but one match in the 2025/26 campaign as Bournemouth qualified for the Europa League.
Manchester United, Juventus and Atletico Madrid were also keen on signing the Argentina international, but Spurs have won the race.
Tottenham struck an agreement in principle with Senesi in April which has now been formalised.
The north London club, who narrowly escaped relegation from the Premier League, have also agreed a deal to sign free agent Andy Robertson this summer.
As for Bournemouth, manager Andoni Iraola announced his exit weeks ago and the Spaniard is in advanced talks to take over at Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the Cherries are determined to keep star trio Rayan, Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott, having been hit hard during the 2025 summer transfer window.
Rebuilding
Tottenham are determined to put a catastrophic season behind them.
The club’s board of directors recently released a statement promising change.
Meanwhile, manager Roberto De Zerbi insisted the rebuild must start now.
“We close one page and we open another page today,” he said after the 1-0 victory over Everton.
“We have no time. We have to organise the next season, we have to begin a stronger team.
“I am very happy and very proud of every one of us. What we did was incredible, but it is finished. Now we have to move on and to prepare the future of our club.
“I came in a difficult moment and I think it made us stronger. We can become better for sure – as a coach, as players, as a club, and we cannot make the same mistakes.”
De Zerbi added: “I love smart people, and the smart people learn from their mistakes. If this season was like this, it is because we made many mistakes. Sincerely, from the mistakes, we have to find the reason to improve, to work harder, and to understand the mistakes. Otherwise, we can’t compete.
“We have a great relationship with (sporting directors) Johan (Lange) and Vinai (Venkatesham), and the board, they have no doubt, but it is right. I came (to) plan a new project.
“From today we have to start to work. My target when I came was today. To arrive today (with Premier League safety).
“We are lucky to have a lot of good players, a lot of good guys, but I think we have to complete the squad in the best way, with the first level of players, the right behaviour of the players.
“Right now, the quality of the players is important, but more important is the mentality of these players. Now, the job starts.”
