Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are set to battle it out for Tottenhan’s unwanted left-back Sergio Reguilon in this window.
According to Fichajes, Sergio Reguilon is attracting massive interest from Turkey, with derby rivals Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in the thick of the battle for the Spaniard. The two competitors do have the funds to make a deal, as Tottenham are not eager to continue with the 27-year-old full-back.
Fenerbahce, Galatasaray vying for Sergio Reguilon
The Turkish Super Lig will once again see the resumption of the fierce battle between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. The two giants narrowly fought for the league title last season, with the former edging the latter on the final day of the season to clinch the championship.
The two derby rivals are now battling it out in the transfer market for a common target in Sergio Reguilon as they see in recruiting the 27-year-old Tottenham wide man. The Spaniard does not have a huge market ahead of him to choose from, as Spurs have already told him to find a new club.
Galatasaray are eager to strengthen its squad and gear up for another season when they will be vying for the league title. The Istanbul giants have the cash to play around in this market, and they are usually known to attack the window in the latter stages.
Fenerbahce are anticipating Ferdi Kadioglu’s sale and could demand a significant fee of close to €35-40 million. If they manage that, they will have the cash to buy a new left-back, with Reguilon also known to new manager Jose Mourinho from their time together at Tottenham.
Sergio Reguilon’s future explored
Reguilon went on two separate loans last season, first to Manchester United and then to Brentford, failing to convince either of those teams. He has since returned to Tottenham but was not part of their pre-season tour to Asia. He was offered to former club Sevilla, although there are no legs to those links as things stand.
Barcelona were also linked, although they are unlikely to pay anything for a player they might not necessarily need at this stage. Hence, the options for the 27-year-old Tottenham wide man are limited in this market, although the openings in Turkey might entice him. Still, any deal to the Turkish league is only expected in the latter stages, probably after the English window shuts down.
