Daniel Levy ‘reluctant’ to let Tottenham player leave – Blocking post deadline exit amid interest
Ange Postecoglou has sidelined Sergio Reguilón from his primary squad at Tottenham Hotspur this season, offering him no playing time during the first several months of the campaign.
The Spanish defender only made his first appearance in December and has since featured in five matches for the club. Despite returning to action, his long-term future at Spurs remains uncertain as he approaches the final months of his contract.
AS reports that AS Monaco attempted to sign the left-back during the winter transfer window, but negotiations did not lead to an agreement.
With the English transfer window now closed, attention has shifted to potential opportunities elsewhere, particularly in Turkey, where clubs can still complete transfers until February 11.
Galatasaray and Beşiktaş have emerged as potential destinations, expressing interest in acquiring the 28-year-old before the deadline.
A move to Turkey could present an attractive opportunity for Reguilón, given his limited role at Tottenham and the chance to secure regular playing time elsewhere.
Despite interest from Turkish clubs, Tottenham’s chairman Daniel Levy appears hesitant to approve a transfer. The club stands to gain financially by offloading the defender, as it would not only generate a transfer fee but also reduce their wage bill.
However, as of now, Levy has not given the green light for Reguilón’s departure, making it increasingly likely that he will remain at Spurs until his contract expires in the summer.
With less than six months left on his deal, the full-back is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. This situation puts Tottenham in a position where they must decide whether to let him leave now for a fee or allow him to depart for free in the summer.
If an acceptable offer arrives before the Turkish transfer deadline, the club could reconsider its stance, but at this stage, there is no indication that a move will be sanctioned.
Reguilón’s future remains in limbo as he waits for clarity on whether he will finish the season in North London or move elsewhere before the Turkish transfer window closes.
Given his limited role under Postecoglou, securing a move to a club where he can play consistently would be beneficial for his career. However, with Levy reluctant to authorize an exit, the Spanish full-back may need to wait until the summer to make his next move.
