Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Rodrigo Bentancur regarding a new contract.
The 27-year-old midfielder has a contract with the North London club until the summer of 2026, and Ange Postecoglou wants the club to tie him down to a new deal. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the manager is ‘pushing’ for a renewal and it will be interesting to see if all parties can agree quickly.
The report states that negotiations are already underway, but an agreement is yet to be reached. Further meetings have been planned in the coming weeks and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
The Uruguayan international has struggled with injury problems since joining the club in 2022, but he has shown his qualities when fit. There is no doubt that he is a quality player and he could be an asset for Tottenham going forward. It is no surprise that they want to keep him for the long term. They will hope that the player has gotten over his injury issues and he can contribute regularly now.
The report states that the Tottenham manager considers the South American midfielder a fundamental part of his project. The manager’s belief in the player will certainly go a long way in convincing the midfielder to sign a new deal.
The 27-year-old midfielder is entering his peak years, and he will want to compete at a high level. Spurs have an ambitious project and a talented squad. Even though they have not been at their best this season, they are a top team and the midfielder could be attracted to the idea of signing a long-term deal with them.
Tottenham must keep their key players in order to build a formidable side for the future and the 27-year-old is certainly one of their best midfielders.
