Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly open to offers for Rodrigo Bentancur this summer, casting doubt over the Uruguayan international’s long-term future in North London as new manager Roberto De Zerbi accelerates a dramatic squad overhaul. Roberto De Zerbi is at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Following the £85 million signing of West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes, who marked his unofficial debut with a spectacular long-range goal against MK Dons, and the marquee arrival of Sandro Tonali, competition for central midfield roles has reached an all-time high.
While Bentancur still has three years remaining on his contract, Tottenham could look to move him on to trim the wage bill and generate transfer funds.
Speculation around Bentancur’s future has intensified as he remains away from Tottenham’s pre-season preparations. He was granted extended rest alongside Pape Matar Sarr following his commitments at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Uruguay, leaving him out of Tottenham’s 35-man squad for their pre-season tour of New Zealand and Australia.
His absence from the squad tour gives Tottenham’s management an opportunity to evaluate incoming inquiries without immediate disruption. Several Italian clubs are reportedly monitoring the former Juventus star as they consider bringing him back to Serie A.
Tottenham’s willingness to entertain offers signals that no established star is immune to De Zerbi’s tactical evolution. Should a satisfactory offer materialise before the transfer window closes, Bentancur’s four-year spell in North London could come to an end.
