The 24-year-old joins on a permanent deal for a reported fee of €19 million. Bentancur has been a key figure for Juventus since arriving from Boca Juniors in 2017. He made 181 appearances for the Bianconeri, scoring three goals and providing nine assists. His impressive performances earned him a place in Uruguay’s national team, where he has played 46 times. Spurs manager Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of Bentancur’s qualities. He sees him as a vital addition to his squad, which is currently struggling in the Premier League. “Rodrigo is a complete midfielder,” Conte said. “He has excellent technical ability, he can break up play, and he can create chances for others. He will be a great asset to our team.” Bentancur expressed his delight at joining Tottenham. “I’m very happy to be here,” he said. “Tottenham is a great club with a lot of history and tradition. I’m excited to play in the Premier League and to be part of this team.” The Argentine’s arrival could signal the end of Tanguy Ndombele’s time at Spurs. The French midfielder has struggled to impress Conte and has been linked with a move away from the club. Bentancur’s signing is a statement of intent from Tottenham as they look to rebuild under Conte. The club is hoping that his experience and quality will help them climb the table and challenge for a place in the top four.
