Tottenham ready to start contracts talks with £16m star amid rumours of Fabio Paratici interest
Tottenham Hotspur are due to hold contract talks with Rodrigo Bentancur amid strong interest from Europe, TBR Football exclusively understands.
As things stand, Bentancur will have one-year left on his Tottenham contract when he reaches the summer, a midfielder who has ma𓃲de 32 appearances under Ange Postecoglou this season🍨.
💦Bentancur arr꧃ived from Juventus for back in 2022, a double-deal that also saw Dejan Kulusevski rock up in north London.
And whilst🎃 Spurs could be set for a big summer of investment and change, there is little appetite for losing a player like Bentancur, who’s often leading Postecoglou’s midfield.
