Barcelona plotting €60 million for Rodrigo Bentancur

Barcelona are not going to waste any time in replacing Denis Suarez. As per Calcio Mercato, the Cules are going to launch a €60 million bid to sign Uruguayan international and Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.

Sami Khedira and Emre Can have been unavailable for the Bianconeri this season owing to injuries and Bentancur has made the most of his opportunities and has done more than enough to stake a claim on a spot in Max Allegri's starting XI.

However, Barcelona will have to battle it out with LaLiga title rivals Atletico Madrid who have also been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old.
