Spurs reject offer from Lille after entering ‘advanced talks’ – Fabrizio Romano

Sergio Reguilon almost certainly has no future at Tottenham Hotspur now, but an approach to loan the full-back was rejected by Spurs earlier in the summer transfer window.

Lille loan rejected by Spurs

The Spaniard has spent the last two seasons on loan away from Spurs, spending time with Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, and more recently, Brentford.

Reguilon was not included in Ange Postecoglou‘s pre-season squad and has been looking for a switch away from the club all summer.

Now, it has emerged via Fabrizio Romano that Lille tried to sign Reguilon on loan but were unable to come to an agreement with Spurs, and have now moved on to another target.

Romano tweeted: “Lille agree on deal with Atalanta to sign Mitchel Bakker as new left back on loan. Understand Lille were in advanced talks for Sergio Reguilón but Spurs rejected their loan proposal.”

Reguilon needs to leave

Whether it was the nature of the deal or the idea of the loan itself that put Spurs off is unknown. A report from Football Insider suggested the Lilywhites were open to loan offers if they couldn’t agree a permanent deal for Reguilon this month.

He and Giovani Lo Celso are the two remaining players in the Spurs squad that are destined for a move. Both are into the final year of their respective contracts.

Reguilon has also attracted interest from Barcelona (Sport via Sport Witness) and a number of top Turkish clubs (A Spor).

Spurs Web Opinion

I would imagine it was simply that the proposal from Lille was not the right one.

Most likely, Tottenham are looking for some kind of obligation or suitable fee to make the temporary switch more beneficial for us, as we are just going to lose Reguilon on a free next summer otherwise.
