Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been linked with a contract extension.
According to a report from Daily Mail, Tottenham have opened talks with the 27-year-old regarding his future, and they are hoping to tie him into a new deal. His contract with the North London club expires at the end of next season. It will be interesting to see if he is ready to commit his long-term future to the club.
Bentancur has struggled with injury problems since joining the English club, but he has shown his quality with them as well. It is no surprise that they are looking to keep him at the club for the long term. Bentancur could be a quality player for Tottenham if he can get over his injury problems.
The 27-year-old is entering his peak years and he will look to play his best football in the coming seasons. He could help Tottenham fight for major trophies in future.
Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has now opened up on the player’s future and a potential contract extension.
The Australian manager has revealed that the South American is an important member of the squad and any potential contract extension will be handled by the club.
He added that the 27-year-old is an important member of the group, and he is getting back up to speed after a lengthy injury layoff.
He said to Football London: “In terms of his contract situation that is handled by other people and obviously a lot of our strategizing is not just about the short term but the longer term. Rodri, this latter period, is getting back to the levels he wants to be. He was coming off a long term injury last year, came back looked really good and then got another injury. It’s really disruptive. Even this year he got off to a false start with his long suspension. You can see he just needs regular game time and he is getting up to speed. Really good guy around the group as well. He is experienced now. From our perspective, in this run-in he is going to be really important.”
It will be interesting to see if the midfielder can get back to his best and help Tottenham finish the season strongly.
