Barcelona linked with move for Premier League defender with one year left on contract

Barcelona have been forced to trawl through the bargain basement in recent years for their signings, with the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie arriving on free transfers in recent years. The Blaugrana have reportedly enquired for Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilon.

The former Real Madrid defender has just a year left on his deal at Spurs, and is not part of their plans for the coming season, so are open to letting him leave. Presumably they will try to make some money on him before his contract expires, meaning he might be available on a cheaper deal.

Barcelona supposedly asked about the potential terms of a deal for the 27-year-old, as per SkySports, who spent the first half of last season on loan at Manchester United, before moving to Brentford.

Kingsley Coman would only be an alternative to Nico Williams, not a priority. Barça value ​​his quality and the fact that he has worked with Flick at Bayern, although there are doubts about his injury history. @ffpolo, @xavimunyozMD

It would be a major surprise if Barcelona moved for a left-back this summer, as it has not been earmarked as a priority for this summer. In addition, they have three young left-backs on their books in Alex Valle, Gerard Martin and Alejandro Balde who have all shown promise. Hector Fort has also played there in the past, while potential returning loanee can operate there too – if Reguilon is being considered it would be because Barcelona are having doubts about all of them.
