According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur’s Sergio Reguilon will soon be on his way to Atletico Madrid as the two clubs finalise the deal.
Providing an update on Twitter, transfer specialist and CaughtOffside columnist Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that the Spurs defender’s departure is said to be imminent and that the loan deal will not include an option to buy.

Reguilon, who has been at the north London since he joined from Real Madrid in 2020, started his first season strongly, making 27 Premier League appearances but has since become surplus to requirements, only making 16 Premier League appearances under Antonio Conte.
However, that’s not necessarily down to poor performances, but Conte prefers to play in a system with wing-backs, whereas Reguilon is more comfortable as a full-back.
The Spaniard will be keen on a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if it means more game-time, especially with the World Cup around the corner.
