Boca Juniors have Tottenham Hotspur’s Rodrigo Bentancur in their target list.
That’s at least what El Intransigente are reporting, and they name the Tottenham player as an option for the Argentine club.
The football season in Argentina ends in December and Boca Juniors have already started planning to reshape their squad for next season.
Bentancur graduated from their academy and spent two years with their first team before moving to Juventus in 2017. He then joined the north London club in January 2022 and has been a regular since.
Boca Juniors have the 28-year-old, Al-Qadsiah’s Nahitan Nández and Galatasaray’s Lucas Torreira as their midfield targets. Nández was at the South American club between 2017 and 2019.
Their president, Juan Román Riquelme, would be leading the pursuit of the Spurs man as the report states his ‘big dream’ is to sign Bentancur.
Juan Román Riquelme sees Bentancur as an ‘ideal partner’ for Leandro Paredes in midfield. He’s also aware it’s ‘practically impossible’ to take him away from Tottenham but maintains the dream of signing him.
This would be because Bentancur signed an extension at Thomas Frank’s side earlier this month. Tottenham hadn’t specified the duration but said it was a ‘long-term contract’, so any negotiations would be complex.
The Uruguay international has played 13 matches for Tottenham this season.
