Tottenham insider John Wenham believes that one Spurs player, who the club have decided to part ways with in January, may not make things easy for the North London side.
Reguilon has already played his last game for the club
It is clear that Sergio Reguilon has already played his final game for Tottenham, with the left-back seemingly not in Ange Postecoglou‘s plans.
It was reported by CaughtOffside last week that the Spain international wants to terminate his deal and leave on a free transfer in January.
The outlet claimed that Spurs are open to paying off the final six months of the defender’s deal as they are keen to get him off their wage bill.
Sergio Reguilon could demand a big payout
John Wenham pointed out that the former Real Madrid man has no incentive to offer Tottenham any sort of concession, given the high salary that he is on.
He suggested that Spurs might have to pay off Reguilon’s full contract if they wish to part ways with the player in January.
When asked about the left-back’s contract update, the Tottenham insider told Tottenham News: “I don’t see any incentive for him to leave unless someone else is willing to match his wages. Tottenham are paying him £100,000-per-week, and he has quite rightly, from his point of view, stuck to that contract.

“Unless he agrees to terminate the last six months of his deal, I think he will remain in North London. However, even then, I imagine he will demand at least 80 per cent of his remaining salary.”
Reguilon is generating plenty of transfer interest
Reports over the last few weeks have indicated that the interest in Reguilon’s services is intensifying as we edge closer to the January transfer window.
Former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is alleged to be keen on reuniting with the defender at Fenerbahce, according to Sabah.
Meanwhile, over in Spain, Reguilon’s former club, Sevilla, are thought to be keen on taking the defender back to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
