Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to fend off interest for Rodrigo Bentancur
Tottenham Hotspur have been in all kinds of trouble this season. The North London club are 15th in the Premier League and it is looking highly unlikely that they will have any chance at securing European football next season through the league. However, Spurs are still competing in the Europa League and have entered the quarter-finals of the competition. That trophy is the only hope for the Lilywhites to get into the Champions League next season.
Ange Postecoglou has had to deal with injuries all season. His quad has been depleted in all parts of the field and that is also one of the reasons why the Lilywhites are struggling to find form and consistency this season. However, a few players have stepped up when called upon by Ange and they can quickly become a key part of the Australian manager’s plans.
Tottenham Hotspur keen to retain Rodrigo Bentancur amidst AC Milan interest.
But it is looking likely that it is going to be a huge summer for Tottenham Hotspur. The club will be looking for a complete overhaul and remove all the deadweight at the club. Ange Postecoglou’s job also remains on the line and the ex-Celtic boss will be hoping that he will be at the helm for next season.
Rodrigo Bentancur to remain at Tottenham Hotspur?
Rodrigo Bentancur has been one of the key players for Tottenham Hotspur ever since joining the club from Juventus in 2022. The Uruguay international has been a mainstay under Ange Postecoglou and has quickly become a senior figure in the dressing room for the Lilywhites.
However, the 27-year-old only will only have a year left on his contract when the season ends. Spurs would surely not like to lose their star midfielder on a free transfer and it is being reported that the North London club have opened talks for a new contract.
According to TBR Football, Tottenham are ready to start negotiations over a new contract for the Spurs No.30. They also report that both the player and the club are happy to enter negotiations and reach an agreement before the summer. But TBR Football also reports that Spurs will have to act quick as there is significant from AC Milan for the midfielder.
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to keep the Uruguay international at the club beyond this summer and fend off interest from other clubs. As per Sofascore, Bentancur has played 32 games in all competitions this season, having an 89% passing accuracy and averaging a 7.02 rating for the Lilywhites.
