Former Real Madrid player Sergio Reguilon enjoyed a terrific last season with Sevilla where he won the Europa League. Many thought that Sevilla would sign the Spaniard on a permanent deal but they instead signed Acuna.
Zinedine Zidane also preferred Ferland Mendy and Marcelo over Reguilon for the left-back role. So Reguilon was on the lookout for a new club this summer.
There has been a shocking revelation now that Barcelona showed interest in signing the former Los Blancos player but he refused to join the Catalan side.
Reguilon shares the same agent as Coutinho, Kia Joorabchian. So Barcelona inquired about the Spanish left-back.
According to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito: “Reguilón shares a representative with (Philippe) Coutinho, and when he was negotiating the return of the Brazilian, he found out they were in Barcelona looking for cover for Jordi Alba and they asked him about Reguilón.
“He proposed it and Reguilon answered: ‘How am I going to go to Barça if I’m more of a Madridista than Santiago Bernabéu?’.”
Now, Reguilon his plying his trade at Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur along with his former Real Madrid teammate Gareth Bale, who is on loan.
