Bentancur in Sight: A Colchoneros Signing on the Horizon?
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for an ambitious summer transfer market, with Rodrigo Bentancur as one of the main targets to strengthen the midfield. The Uruguayan midfielder, currently at Tottenham, is a long-standing desire of Diego Pablo Simeone, who already wanted him when he played for Juventus.
His versatility and vision of the game make him a coveted piece to bolster the Rojiblanca midfield. The Colchoneros club is looking for a reinforcement in the center of the field to compete with players like Pablo Barrios, Rodrigo De Paul and Koke Resurrección.
Atlético’s interest in Bentancur has generated concern at Tottenham, especially considering that the player’s contract expires at the end of next season. The key to determining whether Atlético can secure Bentancur’s services lies in the negotiations between the English club and the player for a possible renewal.
If Bentancur renews his contract, Atlético would be out of the contest, as the Madrid club’s strategy is to try to sign him at an affordable price, taking advantage of the fact that his contract ends in 2026. The coming months will be crucial to define Bentancur’s future and whether he will finally wear the Rojiblanca shirt at the Metropolitano.
