Sergio Reguilon had been on loan at Manchester United for the first half of the season, filling in for injured players Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. But now, with United's permanent left-back options back in contention, the 27-year-old is headed back to his parent club Tottenham Hotspur.
However, it seems that Reguilon's time away from Tottenham may not be over just yet. There are talks of a potential loan move to Brentford for the rest of the season, although there are other clubs interested in acquiring the full-back's services as well.
It's no surprise that other clubs are interested in Reguilon, as he has proven to be a valuable asset on the pitch. During his time at Manchester United, he made 12 appearances and made a positive contribution to the team. But with a decrease in games and injured players returning, it was decided that it would be best for all parties involved for Reguilon to return to Tottenham.
While Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou had worked with Reguilon in pre-season, it seems that he is content with his current options at left-back and is not keen on keeping the Spaniard at the club. Brentford, on the other hand, are in need of a left-back due to a long-term injury to their first-choice player Rico Henry.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, talks between Brentford and Tottenham are in the final stages, although a final decision has yet to be made by the player. Brentford manager Thomas Frank will surely be pleased to have Reguilon join his team, as he has been hindered by Henry's injury and will likely be out for the entire season.
This won't be the first time Reguilon has been on loan, as he had previously spent time at Atletico Madrid last season. Since joining Tottenham in 2020 from Real Madrid, he has made a total of 67 appearances for the club.
Manchester United confirmed in a statement that they had activated a break clause in Reguilon's loan agreement, sending him back to Tottenham. They also expressed their appreciation for his contribution and wished him the best for the future.
In other transfer news, there have been reports of Manchester United's interest in Benfica's Joao Neves and Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. While Benfica have denied any talks with United over Neves, it is rumored that United are willing to pay a hefty fee of £130m for Vinicius Jr. as Real Madrid consider selling him to fund a potential transfer for Kylian Mbappe. Only time will tell if these transfers will come to fruition.
