Ex-Tottenham and Man Utd defender to link-up with Lionel Messi? Former Premier League star in shock talks to join Inter Miami as free agent

Reguilon’s time at Tottenham ended quietly after a season in which he made just six appearances, with only two starts to his name. Despite that, he still managed to find himself at the heart of the club’s Europa League celebrations, bizarrely collecting a winner’s medal and even kissing the trophy on stage, despite never playing a single minute in the competition.

Reguilon departs north London having racked up 73 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing nine assists. His career has been a rollercoaster, featuring loan spells at Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, and Brentford, but the opportunity to reignite his career in Miami might prove too good to refuse.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter Miami are considering Reguilon as part of their final roster reinforcement ahead of the MLS playoffs, with hopes of getting the deal done before the post-season kicks off. With the MLS regular season concluding on October 19, Miami have already secured their spot in the Eastern Conference play-offs, sitting fourth with 56 points. The top seven teams in each conference qualify automatically, while those in eighth and ninth battle it out in a wildcard round. If the deal is completed swiftly, Reguilon could become part of Lionel Messi’s charge for the club’s first-ever MLS Cup, adding European experience and defensive depth at a crucial moment.

Miami’s play-off preparations took a slight hit after their recent 5-3 defeat to Chicago Fire, a result that exposed defensive vulnerabilities, something a player like Reguilon could help address. The Florida-based side will aim to return to winning form when they take on the New England Revolution this Sunday, with their star-studded squad eager to finish strong.
