Barcelona are keen on signing Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham Hotspur. 

According to a report from Football Insider, Reguilon is ‘certain’ to leave the North London club this summer in search of regular playing time.

The 27-year-old is not a key player for Spurs and they have Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies ahead of him in the pecking order. Reguilon was on loan at Brentford and Manchester United last season and he needs to leave in order to play more often and get his career back on track.

A move to Barcelona would be an exciting opportunity for the Spanish defender and it remains to be seen whether the Catalan giants can get the deal done.

Reguilon is in the final year of his contract with Spurs and he could be available for a reasonable price. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties and it would be ideal for them if the Spurs defender is available for a knockdown price.

They need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit this summer. Marcos Alonso left the Spanish club earlier and Barcelona are looking at a replacement. Reguilon has played in La Liga before and he could be a handy option for the right price.

Meanwhile, the report states that other La Liga clubs are keeping tabs on his situation as well.

It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. Reguilon should seek game time assurances and he should look to join a club where he will be an undisputed starter.
