Exclusive : Mourinho is ready to rescue Tottenham misfit as a January transfer window raid is being prepared
Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in rescuing an out-of-favour Tottenham star by moving him to
Turkish club Fenerbahce during the January transfer window.
Left-back Sergio Reguilon is the player in question, and a new report suggests that the former
Tottenham Hotspur manager is ready to end his old player’s miseries in north London
by bringing him to Turkey in the new year.
Reguilon’s career has taken a significant decline following a promising start at Tottenham. Indeed,
the Spain international hasn’t played for the first team since April 2022.
During that time, the 27-year-old has been loaned out to Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, and Brentford,
with none of the three electing to make the move permanent.
The arrival of Ange Postecoglou in the summer of 2023 has done little for Khopes of regular
first-team football at Tottenham, with Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies ahead of him in the pecking order. Indeed,
right-sided duo Archie Gray and Djed Spence have also featured at left-back in games this season ahead of the former Real Madrid man.
However, according to 90min, Mourinho wants to revive Reguilon’s career and is looking to strengthen his defense in Istanbul with the Spaniard.
Mourinho’s interest in the Spaniard implies that he still believes Reguilon has the potential to perform at a high level,
as he did early in his Spurs career until his form dipped dramatically.
Reguilon is also likely to be available for a reduced amount in January, given he will be out of contract in the summer and entering the final six months of his deal.
Postecoglou is clear on Reguilon’s future.
Reguilon unexpectedly found himself on the plane to Hungary for Tottenham’s recent
Europa League match against Ferencvaros, but Postecogliu was quick to clarify why
the defender was included in the team – especially as he is not registered to play.
Speaking prior of the game, the Australian stated, “He’s a Spurs player, mate. I mean, we have a training session,
so we need 20 guys for training, which is the same as what we do on match day, minus one.
It didn’t make sense to bring someone like Radu [Dragusin, suspended] or a handful of guys with
ailments when we won’t be back until late Thursday.
“We brought a couple of young guys in. The academy played last night and we didn’t want to disrupt that,
but we brought a couple of young guys and Reguilon to make sure our training is really good today. Squad-wise,
from the weekend Destiny hasn’t travelled.
