In a stunning development that could reshape Major League Soccer's landscape, Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilón is reportedly considering a sensational move to Inter Miami, with club co-owner David Beckham personally spearheading the transfer negotiations.
Beckham's Personal Touch in Transfer Pursuit
The former England captain and football icon has taken a hands-on approach in convincing the Spanish left-back to join Inter Miami's growing constellation of stars. Sources close to the negotiations suggest Beckham's direct involvement has given the Florida-based club a significant advantage in the race for Reguilón's signature.
Messi and Alba Influence
The potential arrival of Reguilón would see him reunite with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, creating a familiar Spanish-speaking core within the Inter Miami squad. This existing relationship is understood to be a crucial factor in the defender's decision-making process.
The 27-year-old's situation at Tottenham has become increasingly uncertain, with the defender spending last season on loan at Manchester United and Brentford. With new manager Ange Postecoglou reshaping the Spurs squad, Reguilón appears surplus to requirements in North London.
Strategic MLS Move
Inter Miami's pursuit of Reguilón represents a strategic shift in the club's transfer policy, focusing on players entering their prime years rather than veterans approaching retirement. The Spanish international would bring Champions League experience and Premier League pedigree to the DRV PNK Stadium.
"This isn't just about signing big names anymore," an MLS insider revealed. "Beckham and Inter Miami are building a competitive team that can dominate the league for years. Reguilón fits perfectly into that vision."
Premier League Interest
Despite strong interest from several Premier League clubs, including newly-promoted sides and established top-flight teams, the allure of joining Messi in Miami and experiencing a new football culture appears to be tempting Reguilón towards an American adventure.
The proposed move would see Reguilón become one of the highest-profile defensive signings in MLS history, signalling the league's growing appeal to international stars in their prime years.
