AliousTwo Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, are reportedly considering an unexpected move for a player Tottenham is eager to part ways with, according to a recent report.
Tottenham’s summer strategy involves significantly reducing their squad size, with more departures expected than arrivals.
Several players have already left as free agents, including Ryan Sessegnon, Ivan Perisic, Eric Dier, and Japhet Tanganga.
The club also reached a mutual agreement to terminate Tanguy Ndombele’s contract a year early.
To increase their financial flexibility, Spurs are seeking permanent transfers for players like Djed Spence, Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Giovani Lo Celso.
While Spence’s move to Genoa fell through, AC Milan has shown renewed interest in Emerson Royal.
Sergio Reguilon is another full-back Tottenham hopes to move on.
The 27-year-old Spanish defender has one year left on his contract but has become surplus to requirements due to Destiny Udogie’s emergence.
Reguilon spent the first half of last season on loan at Manchester United before joining Brentford in January.
United’s initial loan move came during a period of injury crisis in their left-back position.
Despite activating a break clause in January, United is now reportedly considering bringing Reguilon back.
According to Spanish outlet AS, both Manchester United and West Ham are showing interest in signing Reguilon permanently.
West Ham’s manager, Julen Lopetegui, has previously worked with Reguilon at Real Madrid and Sevilla.
Tottenham prefers a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy, given Reguilon’s contract situation.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that United will sign a left-back this summer, with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia facing injury issues last season.
However, a return to Old Trafford for Reguilon would be surprising, considering how quickly United terminated his loan in January.
Additionally, at 27, Reguilon falls outside the age range United is reportedly targeting under their new transfer strategy led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which focuses on players in their early to mid-20s.
