Tottenham is preparing for a new contract renewal. The main character is Rodrigo Bentancur.
Alasdier Gold, a reporter from Football London who is familiar with Tottenham's news, reported on the 30th (Korea time) that Bentancourt is close to agreeing a new contract with Tottenham.
Gold said 'Bentancourt has been the mainstay of the team since his move to Tottenham in January 2021. He also sat out for about nine months due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury in 2023. He was a key player under Antonio Conte and was also a key player under Enze Postecoglou. The experienced player has also been a mainstay under Thomas Frank this season, and he has been named a top priority after Christian Romero's long-term contract.

Frank also said in an interview last summer that he was pretty sure he was going to be a key player. So it wasn't a surprise. Of course, I think Bentancourt is an important player in the future" he said.
Bentancourt, who entered the European stage in 2017 wearing a Juventus uniform, began to suffer in the Serie A stage and left for the English Premier League (EPL). The club that reached out to Bentancur joined Tottenham, with Fabio Paratici, who had worked at Tottenham and Juventus at the time, leading the transfer.
After joining Tottenham, Bentancourt was consistently given opportunities and played as a main player. In the 2022-2023 season, he suffered a season out injury due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, but Bentancur returned from injury and remained in his position by showing his skills. In the previous 2024-2025 season, Bentancourt played 44 games and played a lot of time. However, ahead of last season, he made racist remarks about his close colleague Son Heung-min, causing a stir.

Tottenham recently built a new midfield, including Lucas Beribal and Papesar, and João Paligna joined Bentancur in overlapping positions. Nevertheless, he seems to be planning to catch Bentancourt. Bentancourt is known to receive about £93,750 a week. How much the weekly salary will increase in the process of renewing the contract can be seen by Romero's case, who signed the contract earlier. Romero, who has been selected as the leader to lead Tottenham, will remain at Tottenham for a longer period of time with a major renewal. The treatment is also unconventional. It was a condition that even Son Heung-min did not receive. Bentancourt is also expected to receive good treatment through this renewal, including a huge salary increase.
Tottenham is facing a new era under Frank and is also immersed in renewing its main players. If Bentancur signs a renewal, he is expected to become the second key veteran to lead the team after Romero.
