Earlier today, we covered multiple claims from Italy that stated Rodrigo Bentancur prefers joining Tottenham Hotspur over Aston Villa in the winter market.

It was also explained the Juventus player has rejected an offer from Steven Gerrard’s side in favour of making a switch to the north London club. There seems to be progress made to take the midfielder to the English capital.

According to Calciomercato, Spurs and the Serie A side are ‘carrying out negotiations’ related to the 24-year-old’s transfer. The report further adds the deal has ‘now reached the details’, and the operation could be ‘concluded soon’.

Since then, TuttoMercatoWeb have published a short, but an important update.

After Antonio Conte’s side and the Old Lady agreed a deal Dejan Kulusevski’s transfer, the website now explains the two clubs have ‘reached an agreement’ for Bentancur to join Spurs.

The deal will cost the Premier League side around €25m and there will be ‘white smoke’, after Tottenham allow Tanguy Ndombele or Giovani Lo Celso to move elsewhere.
