Tottenham discusses new contract for Rodrigo Bentancur

Tottenham Hotspur has initiated preliminary talks to extend midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur's contract, which currently expires in the summer of 2026. Despite a challenging season marked by injuries and a suspension, Bentancur has emerged as a key player for manager Ange Postecoglou, having made 28 appearances this season. The club's decision to engage in contract discussions signals their intention to retain Bentancur as part of their long-term plans, while questions remain about the futures of other midfielders like Yves Bissouma, who also has a contract expiring next summer. As Tottenham navigates a difficult Premier League campaign, securing Bentancur's commitment could indicate the players' ongoing support for Postecoglou’s vision for the team. However, the contract talks are in the early stages, and no agreement has yet been reached. Future meetings are scheduled to continue discussions around his potential new deal.
