Despite the bad season he has completed at Atlético de Madrid, Sergio Reguilón is Real Sociedad’s favorite to cover the left back in a season in which they return to the Champions League
We have known for several weeks that the Real society has his eyes on Sergio Reguilon. The sports management is immersed in the search for a new left-back to strengthen its squad for next season. And it is that the coach Imanol Alguacil has identified this position as one of the priorities in the face of a very demanding season that is coming.
However, from what we have been able to learn in the last few hours, the operation is conditioned by the need to make a prior sale. A sale that will be key for the txuri-urdin club to welcome a new full-back, as they currently have two on the squad. And one of them will have to come out so that Real Sociedad signed Reguilón.
The side that Reguilón pushes out of Real Sociedad
Diego Rico, the current left-back for Real Sociedad, is the player who must be transferred to make way for the arrival of Reguilón. The Basque club is looking for a way out for the Burgos footballer, which would allow the operation to be unblocked and progress in negotiations with the Tottenham Hotspur winger.
the directive of Real Sociedad is actively working to find a destination for Diego Rico that satisfies both the player and the club. The intention is to carry out a sale that allows obtaining the necessary resources to deal with the signing of Sergio Reguilón, who does not enter into Tottenham’s plans, which is looking for a definitive exit for him.
Diego Rico, with many suitors in LaLiga
Despite the fact that this season has not been especially positive for him, Diego Rico does have several suitors in the Santander League. One of the teams that would be interested in taking over the services of the 30-year-old winger is Cádiz CF, who will lose their two left-back players this summer.
Pacha Espino seems determined to try his luck abroad, while Arzamendia will return to South American football. Thus, Cádiz CF is one of the best placed to win Diego Rico. Once this output occurs, Real Sociedad will have much more room to negotiate the signing of Reguilón. A signing that will not be easy, as Tottenham does not want to give away the player.
