One experienced defender who has recently departed Tottenham Hotspur as a free agent is already in talks over sealing a move to a Champions League club ahead of the new season.
The club confirmed the departures of some players within the Tottenham first-team squad last week, with the likes of Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman heading out of the door following the conclusion of their contracts.
Another of those to have left was Sergio Reguilon, who arrived at Tottenham from Real Madrid back in 2020 and has had a difficult last couple of years, being shipped off on loan to Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Brentford with limited success.
The left-back ended his Spurs career with 73 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice and providing nine assists and it turns out that he is now on the verge of joining a Ligue 1 side.
Monaco are confident of completing Sergio Reguilon transfer
According to a report by L’Equipe, the former Tottenham man is on Monaco’s list of transfer targets as the club looks to bolster their options at left-back.
It is reported that the Ligue 1 side has already entered negotiations with the Spaniard regarding a move to the Stade Louis II, wasting no time in jumping ahead of the queue for the full-back.
Monaco believe that they will seal the deal for Reguilon, having ‘privately expressed confidence’ in the last few hours that a positive outcome will be reached in negotiations.
