Bournemouth sits sixth in the Premier League, which would mark the club's highest-ever finish. [3] Senesi has been free to discuss a free transfer with European clubs since January 1, 2026, after which he declined three contract offers from Bournemouth due to demands for substantial personal terms.

While exploring options among English top-flight and European teams, clubs such as Tottenham, Barcelona, and Juventus have been linked to Senesi, although Chelsea have denied interest.

Senesi reflected on his time with Bournemouth, saying, "I'm proud of everything we achieved over the last four years and I'm grateful for the support the fans have always given me." He added, "I will look back at my time here with fond memories. For now, there are still two big games left of the season and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together." [1, 3, 2]
Bournemouth will host Manchester City on May 16, 2026. The club plans to celebrate Senesi's contribution after the match at Vitality Stadium. [1, 2]
