Tottenham's central midfielder Rodrigo Bentancourt is on the verge of renewing his contract.
Britain's The Sun reported on the 30th of last month that Bentancourt is out of contract this summer, but seems ready to sign a new contract.
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank sees Bentancourt as a key resource. This is because he is showing good chemistry with João Palinha in the midfield this season. Bentancourt is said to be close to agreeing a new contract with Tottenham.
"Tottenham has made renewing his contract a top priority because his current contract expires after the end of this season," the media said. "This is a great news for coach Thomas Frank, who appreciates Bentancourt and wants to keep him in the long term."
Bentancourt has played in eight of Tottenham's nine games this season. He is also expected to play a key role in the UEFA Champions League.
At the time of pre-season, Frank said of Bentancourt "Even before I joined him, I was pretty sure he was going to be a key player"So it's not surprising. Of course I think he's an important player in the future."
Earlier, Frank was asked about Bentancourt's contract.
In response, he responded "First and foremost, I am very satisfied with Bentancourt. He's a very good player for us, he's professional in every way. "I'm happy with him, and he's happy to be here, too. Please wait and see what will happen in the future."
Bentancur's new contract is also a successor to his best friend Christian Romero. Romero re-signed immediately after Frank appointed him as captain this summer.
Bentancourt, meanwhile, is also a controversial player for his racist comments against Son Heung-min, the former Tottenham captain. At that time, the England Football Association imposed a suspension on Bentancourt, which was the starting point for Tottenham to collapse in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season.
