Spanish outlet drops update on FC Barcelona pursuit of Tottenham player

FC Barcelona finds itself embroiled in an internal debate over the potential signing of Tottenham Hotspur's Sergio Reguilón.

According to the latest print edition of Sport (h/t Sport Witness), Barcelona are considering a move for the 28-year-old left-back, but not everyone at the club is on board with this decision.

Barcelona's current left-back situation is somewhat precarious. Alejandro Balde is the only established player in that position, and while manager Hansi Flick has expressed confidence in him, the team is keen on adding depth to their squad.

Reguilón, who is nearing the end of his contract with Tottenham, has emerged as a possible solution. The Spain international is reportedly viewed as a cost-effective option for the Catalan giants.

Reguilón’s availability comes at a crucial time for Barcelona. The full-back is expected to leave Tottenham as he is in the final year of his contract and has been deemed surplus to requirements by Spurs' boss Ange Postecoglou.

This makes Reguilón an appealing choice for Barcelona, who are looking to strengthen their defense. However, the move is not without its complications.

The internal discord at Barcelona is centered around differing priorities within the club’s hierarchy. Deco, the club’s sporting director, is reportedly leaning towards bringing in a left-winger rather than a left-back.

The disagreement between Deco and Flick complicates Reguilón's potential transfer, showing there's no clear agreement on what the club needs right now.

Despite the internal debates, Reguilón's potential move to Barcelona is still on the table. With the transfer window nearing its end, Reguilón is likely to have a few options to consider.

His main concern will be finding a club where he can get regular playing time, which Barcelona might struggle to guarantee given their current squad situation.

While FC Barcelona’s interest in Reguilón might be genuine, the internal disagreements about his potential signing show how complicated the transfer market can be. Let's wait.
