The ‘fantastic‘ 29-year-old midfielder has been a regular in Spurs’ midfield since joining from Juventus in January 2022. However, the landscape has shifted in recent weeks.

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 is intense.

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 with more incomings planned.

Speculation around Bentancur’s future has intensified as he is away from Tottenham’s pre-season preparations.

He was granted time off following his commitments at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Uruguay and was omitted from Tottenham’s 35-man squad for their pre-season tour of New Zealand and Australia.

His absence from the squad tour allows Tottenham’s management to evaluate any 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 manager Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical evolution.
