As per the report from TEAMtalk, the European clubs are big admirers of the midfielder and are considering making a move for him in the summer.

The club is keen to hold on to him and will look to fend off interest by offering him a new deal, with reports suggesting that the manager is personally ‘pushing’ for a renewal.

The report further claims that Spurs are set to ‘open formal talks’ with Bentancur to fend off the interest from the European clubs and that initial ‘conversations have taken place’ between the player’s entourage and the club which have been positive.

It is added that the player is keen on staying at Spurs and would prioritise the contract talks over a potential move away.

Having joined the club from Juventus in January 2022, he quickly became a crucial player in the squad. His ability to control the tempo, dictate play under pressure, and contribute vital goals made him a standout performer in midfield.

This season, Bentancur has been a regular feature in Tottenham’s midfield, making 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals, and providing one assist .
