Tottenham Open Talks for New Bentancur Contract

Spurs Look to Secure Bentancur’s Long-Term Future

Tottenham Hotspur have officially opened contract negotiations with Rodrigo Bentancur , aiming to secure the Uruguayan midfielder’s long-term future at the club.

The 27-year-old midfielder has entered the final 18 months of his current contract, which he signed in 2022 after completing a £21.5 million transfer from Juventus . According to reports from the Daily Mail, talks are in the early stages, but Spurs view Bentancur as an integral player in their squad under Ange Postecoglou.

Bentancur’s Crucial Role at Tottenham

Despite injury setbacks, Bentancur has played a vital role for Tottenham Hotspur this season. When fit, he has been one of the most reliable midfielders, starting 13 of the 16 Premier League matches he has been available for.

His most recent setback came in January, when he suffered a concussion during a Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool, forcing him to miss 12 days. However, since his return, he has featured in each of Spurs' last four Premier League games , helping the team secure three consecutive victories.

Injury Struggles and Resurgence

Bentancur’s time at Spurs has been far from smooth. In the 2022/23 season, he suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, cutting his campaign short. After a lengthy recovery, he was again sidelined with torn ankle ligaments, delaying his return to full fitness.

Now, with his injury troubles behind him, Bentancur is proving his value in Tottenham’s midfield, making a new contract a top priority for the club.

What’s Next for Bentancur and Spurs?

As Tottenham look to strengthen their squad for the future, tying down Bentancur to a new long-term deal would be a significant step. With Postecoglou determined to build a competitive team, securing one of his key midfielders could be crucial for Spurs' Premier League ambitions.
