The Spurs defender has fallen out of favour with Ange Postecoglu and could be leaving in January.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilon could reportedly be set to move from away north London, with La Liga side Getafe tipped as a potential destination for the Spaniard who signed for Spurs in 2020.

Reguilon joined from Real Madrid for a fee of £25m and has made over 60 appearances for Spurs, scoring two goals with eight assists. However, in recent seasons, he has fallen out of favour with Ange Postecoglu who has sent him on loan Manchester United and Brentford in the past year.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Getafe are keen on signing the 27-year-old whose contract at Tottenham expires in the summer. They could open talks with Reguilon in January over a free transfer should Spurs decide not to renew his contract.

Despite his inconsistency in the Premier League, the former Real Madrid man has plenty of experience in La Liga making 56 appearances in the Spanish league for Sevilla, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid during his career.

Spurs’ current lack of depth along the back-line however could force Ange Postecoglu to re-sign Reguilon on a short-term deal to take the heat off the likes of Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, who are the Spurs’ boss’ first choices at the full-back position.

Reguilon is not the only Spurs defender who could move away

Sergio Reguilon isn’t the only Tottenham defender who could head to La Liga next summer, as Real Madrid have reportedly identified Pedro Porro as an alternative transfer target to Trent Alexander-Arnold should the Liverpool man decide to stay at Anfield.

Porro has also been tipped for a move to his former club in Manchester City as Pep Guardiola’s side face growing concerns over the future of 34-year-old Kyle Walker who will need a long-term replacement at right-back.

Furthermore, centre-back Radu Dragusin’s agent had to quell rumours of a possible exit for his client, as reports emerged suggesting he could move to Serie A club Napoli. Should one or more of Spurs’ defenders be on the move, it could be a wise decision for the club to try and keep hold of Reguilon as cover should the Spaniard be happy in his role as backup.
