Report: Sergio Reguilon set for a quick Tottenham exit | OneFootball

Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon could be set for a dramatic January exit as the Spanish left-back looks to salvage a career that has stalled in North London.

Once a promising signing, Reguilon’s time at Spurs has been marred by injuries, managerial changes, and a lack of consistent playing time.

With his current contract nearing its conclusion, both the player and the club appear ready for a change.

For Reguilon, it’s a chance to rekindle his form elsewhere, while Tottenham could use the opportunity to streamline their squad and recoup some value from a player who no longer fits their plans.

As reports from Cadena Ser suggest, a move back to Spain might be on the cards for the 28-year-old defender. The January transfer window looms large as the pivotal moment to determine his future.

This season has been one to forget for Reguilon, who has only made a single appearance for Tottenham.

That lone outing, a brief cameo against Wolves, came as a result of an injury to first-choice left-back Destiny Udogie.

Apart from that, the Spaniard has been largely absent from matchday squads, a clear sign of his diminishing role under Ange Postecoglou.

The Spaniard joined Tottenham in 2020 for £27.5 million following an impressive loan spell at Sevilla, where he was instrumental in their Europa League triumph.

However, his promising start in North London quickly faded. Injuries disrupted his momentum, and the arrival of new managers with differing tactical philosophies only made it harder for him to establish a foothold.

Cadena Ser reports that several clubs in Spain, including Sevilla, Getafe, and Valladolid, are monitoring his situation.

Sevilla, where Reguilón enjoyed great success during the 2019/20 season, seems to be the frontrunner.

Meanwhile, Getafe and Valladolid are also exploring the possibility of signing him, with Getafe reportedly considering a free transfer offer.

Why the move makes sense

Selling Reguilon in January is a pragmatic decision. With his contract expiring in the summer, the club risks losing him on a free transfer if no deal is made during the window.

Offloading him would also create room for new signings, potentially ones better suited to Postecoglou’s high-energy system.

For Reguilon, a return to Spain would offer much-needed stability and playing time. Sevilla, in particular, could provide the perfect platform for him to rediscover his form and confidence.
