It seems the clock is ticking for Sergio Reguilon at Tottenham. The Spanish left-back, who once held promise of being a key figure, has found himself sidelined for most of the season.
Despite whispers of a potential departure over the summer, he remained at the club, leaving many fans and pundits puzzled.
With the January transfer window fast approaching, Reguilon’s name is once again in the mix of transfer rumours.
Jose Mourinho seeks reunion with Sergio Reguilon
Reports have emerged suggesting that Jose Mourinho, now managing Turkish giants Fenerbahce, has set his sights on reuniting with the player he brought to Tottenham in 2020.
According to AS, the Portuguese manager has urged the Fenerbahce hierarchy to sign Reguilon as a backup following an injury to their first-choice left-back, Jaden Oostervolde, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season.
The Turkish club is also considering AS Roma’s Mario Hermoso, but it’s believed that securing Reguilon’s services would be the easier deal to pull off, given his current lack of game time at Tottenham.
For Reguilon, this potential move represents a chance to revitalise his career. Fenerbahce could offer him regular minutes and a key role under a manager who knows his abilities well.
With limited opportunities at Tottenham, Reguilon might be eyeing a move to Turkish football in search of more consistent playing time.
In addition to Fenerbahce, clubs such as Getafe, Osasuna, Real Sociedad, and Sevilla have also been linked to the left-back.
How has Sergio Reguilon fared this season?
While a move to Turkey might seem promising, Reguilon’s track record in La Liga cannot be overlooked.
Before joining Tottenham, he impressed during a loan spell at Sevilla, helping them secure the Europa League title in 2020.
Back in September, reports suggested that Tottenham’s manager does not have Reguilón in his plans. The Spaniard has yet to feature for the English side this season.
His situation took a slight turn last week when he made his first appearance of the season, coming off the bench in Tottenham’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Manchester United.
However, this brief cameo might have been his farewell in Spurs colours, as speculation around his future gains traction.
Given his familiarity with Spanish football and his established reputation, a return to La Liga might feel like the most natural next step. That said, Mourinho’s influence could tip the scales in Fenerbahce’s favour.
