Inter Miami, under the leadership of Lionel Messi, is reportedly initiating negotiations to add Sergio Reguilon, the former Real Madrid defender, to their roster as the MLS playoffs draw near. Reguilon is set to join the team immediately, having been a free agent since the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.
According to reliable sources, including Fabrizio Romano, Reguilon has received a proposal from the MLS franchise and is expected to accept it shortly. The left-back, who previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, views this opportunity with Inter Miami as the most attractive among numerous offers he has received.
Last seen on the pitch for Tottenham during the 2024-25 season, Reguilon left the club following their triumph in the Europa League, having made six appearances, two of which were starts. His lukewarm stint at Spurs didn’t overshadow his broader career experience, which encompasses significant time spent in both Spanish and English leagues, alongside representing Spain on the international stage.
Since Messi’s impactful arrival in Florida, Inter Miami has actively sought high-caliber players to strengthen their squad. Reguilon’s recruitment aligns perfectly with this strategy. With extensive experience and tactical versatility, his addition is likely to significantly bolster Coach Javier Mascherano’s lineup as they gear up for the playoffs. At just 28, Reguilon can offer reinforcement to fellow defender Jordi Alba, potentially enabling the Barcelona legend to push forward more frequently in the attack. Reguilon is not new to the high-stakes environment of top-tier football, having had previous spells at Sevilla and Manchester United, where he also spent time on loan.

As Inter Miami gears up for the impending playoffs, the potential acquisitions and contract extensions spotlight the club’s commitment to assembling a formidable team.
