Rodrigo Bentancur could prove to be a quality addition for La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a deal with Tottenham Hotspur. As per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Colchoneros will look to make the most of the player’s stalled contract talks and sign him.
The Uruguayan midfielder has had a mixed spell at the club, and he has struggled with inconsistency and injury problems. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to cash in on the player if the right offer is presented. Recent reports have claimed that a renewal might be on the cards.
There is no doubt that the South American is a quality player, and he could get his career back on track with regular football at Atletico Madrid. The Spanish outfit are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be able to provide him with the platform to compete in the Champions League regularly and fight for league titles.
Tottenham are not quite at that level yet, and the player could be attracted to the idea of joining a bigger club. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can secure an agreement in the coming weeks. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in La Liga if the move goes through.
Working under Diego Simeone could bring out the best in the player as well. The Argentine manager is widely regarded as one of the best in the world, and his conservative set-up could be ideal for Bentancur. The Uruguayan midfielder has been exposed in Tottenham’s overly aggressive system this season.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Tottenham are already lacking in depth in the middle of the park, and selling another midfielder might not be a wise decision for them. They will have to bring in multiple additions in the middle of the park this summer if they decide to cash in on the South American.
Tottenham are likely to miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification unless they win the Europa League, and it might be difficult for them to attract quality players. It remains to be seen whether they are ready to let their first-team players leave in the summer.
