Spurs: Journalist drops big Reguilon hint
Taking to Twitter, Spanish reporter Carles Domènech – as also backed by Sport – has now dropped a big Sergio Reguilon exit hint for Tottenham supporters.
The Lowdown: Reguilon worries?
Despite being called ‘one of the best left-backs in the world’ by former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson at one point, Lilywhites boss Antonio Conte started to fancy an alternative to Reguilon in fellow left-back Ryan Sessegnon before the latter’s most recent injury.

Since being unceremoniously taken off after 28 minutes in a 2-0 home defeat to Wolves last month, the Englishman went on to impress with some head-turning displays in Conte’s wing-back formation. This could’ve been a slight worry for Reguilon who may now have some competition in that position for Spurs.
His former club Real Madrid have a £34m buyback clause in the deal which took him to Tottenham in 2020, so there is a way out of north London for the 25-year-old.
However, the Galacticos aren’t the only club interested, with Domènech now dropping a major Twitter hint involving their El Clasico rivals Barcelona.
The Latest: Journalist drops Reguilon hint…
Taking to social media, the Spanish source said to ‘get ready’, as there are ‘many possibilities’ for Reguilon to share Barcelona’s left-flank with defender Jordi Alba.
Domènech explained: “Can you imagine Jordi Alba and Sergio Reguilón sharing the left wing? So get ready because there are so many possibilities.”
The Verdict: Big claim…
The Spaniard joining his old La Liga rivals would certainly come as a shock, with Domenech’s claim apparently causing a stir on social media.

From Tottenham’s perspective, they arguably cannot afford to lose Reguilon despite possessing an alternative in Sessegnon. The latter appears to be far too injury-prone to rely upon without a rotation option, bringing attention to Conte’s reliance on the Spain international.
Facing both Barcelona’s interest and Real Madrid’s possession of a buyback clause, this could be a very interesting summer when it comes to the defender’s future at Tottenham.
