New Juventus signing Rodrigo Bentancur is “similar to an early Paul Pogba,” claims Boca Juniors Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
The Bianconeri secured a €9.4m option on the 19-year-old creative midfielder during the sale of Carlos Tevez to Boca and confirmed they’ll activate it for next season.
“Bentancur is still young, but very talented,” Schelotto told Tuttosport.
New Juventus signing Rodrigo Bentancur is “similar to an early Paul Pogba,” claims Boca Juniors Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
The Bianconeri secured a €9.4m option on the 19-year-old creative midfielder during the sale of Carlos Tevez to Boca and confirmed they’ll activate it for next season.
“Bentancur is still young, but very talented,” Schelotto told Tuttosport.
“He is a midfielder who combines great technique, a strong work rate, pace and above all he is very intelligent.
“Physically he’s pretty strong, is 1.85m tall and good in the air. In terms of his characteristics, I’d say he is similar to an early Pogba.
“Rodrigo is a versatile midfielder. I usually play him in a 4-2-3-1 system in an attacking role. Bentancur can pass well and I am convinced he can easily play in other midfield positions.”
