Rodrigo Bentancur Transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Atlético Madrid

Team Talk reports on Atletico Madrid's interest in Rodrigo Bentancur and the potential complications in negotiations. Rodrigo Bentancur is also a player of interest for Atletico Madrid. Tottenham are not happy with Atletico’s interest being publicized and could make negotiations difficult by refusing to lower their demands. Tottenham hopes to convince Bentancur to stay, especially if there is a change in management.

Rodrigo Bentancur is another major target for Atletico Madrid, as reported by the Times. He has a contract with Tottenham that expires at the end of the next season. There are no current signs of contract renewal discussions, suggesting his time in London may be nearing its end.

Atletico Madrid have added Rodrigo Bentancur to their list of transfer targets. Bentancur has been a regular in Tottenham's starting XI since joining from Juventus in 2022.

Atletico Madrid has expressed interest in acquiring Rodrigo Bentancur before the commencement of the 2025-26 season. The club has made initial contact to discuss the terms of a potential transfer, signaling the first communication with the Uruguayan international's representatives. Although discussions are still in the early stages, this move is part of Atletico's strategy to evaluate options for a new midfielder. Diego Simeone reportedly holds Bentancur in high regard due to his aggressive playing style. Meanwhile, Tottenham is anticipated to strongly oppose the move, as they place significant value on Bentancur, particularly given his crucial role in the team despite his challenges in consistently achieving his previous performance levels following an eight-month injury recovery period.
