But, with director of football and chief transfer negotiator Fabio Paratici having a strong relationship with his former club Juventus, those fears have been allayed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tottenham-hotspur\/bentancur-medical-scheduled-juventus-agreement-gil-valencia-loan-ndombele-lyon\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two reported signings<\/a>. Winger Dejan Kulusevski joins on loan, with an option to buy, which could become mandatory, whilst Bentancur joins in a permanent move from the Serie A giants, according to reports.<\/p>\n<h3>First Signings<\/h3>\n<p>The two players will become Antonio Conte\u2019s first since taking over the Tottenham hot seat from Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo. Bentancur is a Uruguayan midfielder and has been a first-team regular at Juventus, helping them to win three Serie A titles. He will be vying for a starting midfield berth at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with the likes of Oliver Skipp, Harry Winks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is for \u20ac19 million and has been aided by Juventus closing in on a direct replacement for the player in Denis Zakaria from Borussia Monchengladbach whose contract is due to expire at the end of the current season. Juventus will be doing good business with Zakaria available for a cut price of just \u20ac5 million leaving them with enough in the bank to close out other deals if they see fit to add further to their ranks before the window closes.<\/p>\n<p>With team mate Kulusevski and Paratici at Spurs, it should not take the player long to settle into his new surroundings of North London.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"m7QZXOxGQfNY4DfKgITArQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1366474458\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'m7QZXOxGQfNY4DfKgITArQ',sig:'It2RiM7pSPnVTvEk1JURCOWCy8-XeczAY_QBf_VF1VI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1366474458',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a done deal and \u2018here we go\u2019 moment from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, it has been confirmed that Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus for a fee of \u20ac19 million as well as add ons that Romano reports to be around \u20ac6 million.
