Conte is now non-comital regarding Reguilon’s future, and left the six-cap defender out of his squad for Tottenham’s pre-season tour of South Korea. His situation intrigues Sevilla as Julen Lopetegui looks to strengthen his side, with talks even underway between the clubs.

Reguilon has other offers on his table but would prefer to return to Sevilla if Tottenham let him go. The move is likely to be a loan deal at first in the wake of Aston Villa hiring Ludwig Augustinsson from Los Nervionenses for the 2022/23 season in a move agreed on Monday.

Massimiliano Allegri wants to rival Lopetegui as he considers Reguilon a worthy alternative for Alex Sandro to compete with. Reguilon could even be the starter at the Allianz Stadium next season, as Calciomercato report Sandro is up for sale as he has fallen out of favour.
