Sergio Reguilon now stands alone as the final player Tottenham Hotspur wanted to get rid of this summer, so why has he not left yet, and what is the reason he’s so keen to get out?
Champions League football wanted
The Spaniard has not played a game for Spurs in the last two years, having spent that time out on loan at Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, and Brentford.
Despite impressing in England with those last two spells, Reguilon has still not managed to secure a move away from Spurs this summer.
With transfer deadlines closing all across the world over the last week, and with very few left to go, it remains to be seen whether Reguilon will get the switch he needs, or if he will be left to rot in the shadows of Ange Postecoglou‘s squad for the next few months.
Now, according to a report from The Athletic, we have a good idea of what exactly Reguilon has been looking for when it comes to his next move, and it seems his taste of Champions League football with Manchester United last season has got him yearning for a “return to that level.”
With “minimal interest” in his services, that is looking more and more unlikely. The Belgian window closes on Friday, September 6, while the Greek window closes on the 11th, and Turkey will be off the table as of the 13th.

Reguilon needs love
Apparently, a big part of the reason Reguilon’s career at Spurs has faltered, aside from the fact he doesn’t quite suit Postecoglou’s style, is that he is not thought to be the “easiest character” to work with if things aren’t going his way.
Alongside this, the player himself “needs to feel loved to thrive” in his football, and he is not getting that kind of attention at Tottenham.

I think we will still be able to get a move to Turkey sorted out for Reguilon before next Friday. I hope so, because he’s definitely not got a future here, and it would be great if we could shift every single fringe player this summer.
