Rodrigo Bentancur was one of the best players of the Uruguay national team in the short participation of the Celeste - they were eliminated in the group stage - in the World Cup Qatar 2022 and as it usually happens he is already closely followed by several clubs interested in the player born in Nueva Helvecia. But despite the poor performance of Diego Alonso's team, there are players who are on the radar of several major clubs worldwide and the midfielder who plays for Tottenham Hotspur is no exception.

There are three giants who want to count on the midfielder who after leaving Nueva Helvecia went to the youth team of Boca Juniors and then arrived at Juventus in Italy and later arrived at the Premier League team. The truth is that in England, Manchester United and Liverpool are after the steps of the sky-blue midfielder and are determined to bid for him to Tottenham Hotspur, while Real Madrid also set their eyes on the Uruguayan.

Spurs paid Juventus a sum close to 20 million euros for Bentancur, a player who according to Transfermarkt is currently valued at 40 million euros, having reached his highest value of 50 million euros in March 2020. But the reality is that if there are clubs interested, Tottehnam Hotspur will not let the Uruguayan midfielder go for that amount of money but will ask for more and there is talk in some international media that the figure would be higher than 60 million euros.

It is worth remembering that Rodrigo Bentancur arrived in the Premier League in January 2022 and signed a contract with Tottenham until 30 June 2026 and today is one of the most important pieces that Antonio Conte's team has, which is fourth with 19 points and in a position to qualify directly to the Champions League, although there is still a long season ahead.

Klopp wants Bentancur

In any case and after his very good World Cup with the Uruguayan national team -despite having suffered an injury in the match against Ghana- it seems unlikely that Lolo will remain a Spurs player as there are three giant clubs in Europe that are more than interested in having his services and we will have to wait what the next few days will bring in the transfer market of the Old Continent.
