Atlético Madrid has set its sights on Rodrigo Bentancur. The Uruguayan midfielder from Tottenham is the player Diego Pablo Simeone wants to add to his setup for the upcoming season. The goal is clear: to strengthen the midfield with a player of hierarchy and experience to complement Rodrigo de Paul and Pablo Barrios.

Cholo believes that Bentancur would fit perfectly into his system and bring real depth to a midfield that has shown weaknesses at key moments this season.

Atlético Madrid Goes for Rodrigo Bentancur's Signing

The early exit from the Champions League has been a tough blow to digest, accelerating the need to redesign some pieces of the team. In this context, the sports management is clear that reinforcing the midfield is not an option but a priority.

The 27-year-old Uruguayan is under contract with Tottenham until 2026, but his continuity is not guaranteed. He has not renewed and has not shown a special interest in doing so. This detail, combined with Atlético's desire to add proven quality, could open the door to a complex but not impossible negotiation.

Furthermore, the English club is going through a squad renewal process, which could facilitate a potential exit if Atlético's offer is convincing. Bentancur is not only liked by Simeone for his physical prowess and tactical reading but also because he represents the kind of player who embodies the competitive spirit that the Argentine coach demands.
