Jose Mourinho strikes again!
The special one has personally put call accross and asked Fenerbahce to sign £27m Tottenham player who is keen to leave
Jose Mourinho, the renowned Portuguese tactician, is now setting his sights on reuniting with a former player from his Tottenham Hotspur days. After embarking on a new journey in Turkey with Fenerbahce, Mourinho has already made headlines by securing the services of Allan Saint-Maximin, aiming to mount a serious challenge to Galatasaray’s dominance in the Super Lig.
Recent reports reveal that Mourinho is keen to add another piece to his Fenerbahce puzzle: Sergio Reguilon. The Spanish left-back, who once thrived under Mourinho at Tottenham, is now considered surplus to requirements at Spurs. Reguilon’s fall from grace under current Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been marked by two loan spells during the 2023/24 season. He first spent time at Manchester United and then at Brentford, struggling to secure a permanent spot in Tottenham’s lineup.
According to AS, Mourinho has specifically requested that Fenerbahce pursue Reguilon in the upcoming transfer window. The 27-year-old defender’s desire to leave Tottenham is clear, and he is reportedly open to new opportunities. This move is particularly timely as Barcelona is also said to be eyeing Reguilon, adding another layer of complexity to the transfer saga.
Moreover, Fenerbahce’s city rivals, Galatasaray, are also in the mix. They are preparing to make their own bid for Reguilon, even though the Turkish giants have a history of cordial negotiations with Tottenham. Previously, deals involving players such as Tanguy Ndombele and Davinson Sanchez were successfully brokered between the two clubs, which might give Galatasaray a slight edge in the competition.
Reguilon, who has frequently praised Mourinho as a “tactical monster,” enjoyed a reasonably productive season last year, making 28 appearances across all competitions and contributing four assists. With only 11 months remaining on his current contract, the urgency for Tottenham to make a deal is mounting. If they do not secure a transfer fee, they risk losing Reguilon for nothing when his contract expires in the summer of 2025.
Adding to the intrigue, Borussia Dortmund is also reported to be interested in Reguilon, underscoring the wide interest in the Spanish international. Tottenham will be keenly watching how the situation unfolds, hoping for a bidding war between Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Barcelona. This competition could drive up the transfer fee or potentially secure a favorable outcome before Reguilon becomes eligible to negotiate a free transfer elsewhere in January.
As the transfer window progresses, Reguilon’s future will remain a focal point of interest across Europe. With several top clubs vying for his signature, the coming weeks could see significant developments in this high-profile transfer saga.
