#3 Rodrigo Bentancur (Boca Juniors, Uruguay)
Trending
When Carlos Tevez moved from Juventus to Boca Juniors in the summer of 2015, the Italian side put, in that deal, the option to sign a then 17-year-old Rodrigo Bentancur from the Argentine side. They have since lifted that option, and he will make his way to Italy on July 1 to begin pre-season training with a team still in contention to become European champions.
Juve rate the player highly, having been willing to spend €9.5 million (plus bonuses) on him, but he already has a good deal of top-level experience in South America, having turned out more than 50 times at senior level for Boca.
Standing over 6ft 1in, he has been tipped as a player in the mould of Nemanja Matic or Paul Pogba, due to his box-to-box capabilities, and he will be central to Uruguay’s challenge for silverware this summer.
