Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb claim that Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon will only join Atletico Madrid this summer if Renan Lodi leaves – and Nottingham Forest are leading the race to land the Brazil international.
Reguilon, 25, remains completely ostracised by Antonio Conte – forced to train away from the first team. He has found himself in the same position as Harry Winks. Gio Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele too, but they have now left.
Plenty of clubs have been linked with Reguilon this week. Forest themselves, but it appears that Atletico Madrid are leading Lazio and Fulham in the race for the ex-Real Madrid man. TMW say Reguilon wants Diego Simeone’s side.
However, the report states that Reguilon will only be signed by Atletico Madrid if they can offload Lodi first. The Brazil international has remained an unused substitute in Atletico’s first two La Liga games of the season.
Indeed, Forest are winning the race for Brazil international Lodi – after missing out on Reguilon. Talks between all clubs are ongoing – but it is clear, Atleti will only sign Reguilon if Lodi goes. Forest are on pole to sign Lodi.
Reguilon will only join Atletico if Lodi leaves: Forest leading race
Forest have been incredible in this summer’s window. Some amazing transfer buys, including the likes of Jesse Lingard, Emmanuel Dennis, Neco Williams, Morgan Gibbs-White, Oriel Mangala and Lewis O’Brien.
They have made a solid start too – securing four points from a possible nine. They have brought in a left-back in the form of Harry Toffolo, but they want another in that area. Lodi looks like a possibility.
It would be somewhat of a coup if a Brazil international swaps the illustrious Atletico Madrid for Nottingham. But talks are ongoing and it is a move that would see Reguilon replace him. As the report states, talks are ongoing.
