Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon has been given a decisive ultimatum regarding his future at the club.
According to the latest from Football Insider, Spurs are hoping the 27-year-old secures a move to Turkey before their transfer window closes, or else he risks spending his playing time on the sidelines.
Having not been part of manager Ange Postecoglou’s plans, Reguilon has been deemed surplus to requirements, with Tottenham keen to offload him as he enters the final year of his contract.
Despite initial interest earlier in the transfer window, no deal materialised for the Spanish left-back, leaving him in a difficult position.
Spurs have made it clear that without a move to Turkey, Reguilon is likely to be frozen out.
His time at Tottenham has been a rollercoaster. He arrived in 2020 on a five-year deal and made an immediate impact in the first season.
However, a series of injuries and inconsistent form have hampered his progress, leading to loan spells at Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, and Brentford.
Despite showing promise during his time with Brentford, where he recorded 4 assists in 16 appearances, he has not secured a permanent transfer away from North London.
With the Turkish transfer deadline fast approaching, both Reguilón and Tottenham face important decisions.
Amid the mass exodus at Tottenham this summer, the club has still been unable to move on one player who is deemed surplus to requirements. Now, they have made it clear he has to sign for a club in Turkey before their transfer window shuts.
It’s the only option
A deadline day switch for Giovani Lo Celso to Real Betis meant that Sergio Reguilon was the last remaining player Tottenham needed to shift this summer.
The majority of the transfer windows around Europe and beyond have now closed, though, so the Spaniard is facing an anxious wait to see if he can find a new club or end up wasting away in the Tottenham reserves for the next six months.
The latest on his situation comes from The Sunday People (page 53, 8 Sept), with a report explicitly claiming the full-back is now surplus to requirements at Spurs. The North London club had wanted to offload Reguilon this summer, but now the only option available is a switch to Turkey.
Spurs have until Friday, September 13 to agree a deal with a club over there before the Turkish transfer window closes and Reguilon’s final chance for a move.
Reguilon has a number of clubs in Turkey that are thought to be pursuing him. According to Fanatik, Jose Mourinho wants to bring the 27-year-old to Fenerbache.
Meanwhile, Besiktas are also believed to be keen on signing Reguilon
Time really is running out on this situation now, and we need to make sure Reguilon is out of the door before that Turkish window shuts, or we face losing him for absolutely nothing.
The best we can probably expect even now is a loan with an obligation.
