Sergio Reguilon has finally found a new club over three months on from his Tottenham exit. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United full-back is set to sign a three-year contract with Inter Miami after reaching a verbal agreement with the MLS side.

Reguilon looks poised to replace Jordi Alba, who announced his retirement from football earlier this week. Javier Mascherano's men finished third in the Eastern Conference as they prepare to depart Chase Stadium for the Miami Freedom Park Stadium.

They will have fresh blood amongst their ranks next term as Reguilon looks set to team up with the likes of Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul. Luis Suarez is also set to make a decision over his future as Sergio Busquets is following Alba into retirement, too.

Reguilon has endured a notable wait to find a new club since quitting Spurs at the end of last season .

It's understood he has rejected a raft of offers since becoming a free-agent including a lucrative proposal from Iranian side Persepolis.

The Spain international joined Tottenham from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020 - following Gareth Bale (loan) to N17 where they would join forces with boss Jose Mourinho.

Reguilon would also enjoy a six-month loan spell with Brentford in January 2024 - where he worked under Thomas Frank - before returning back to his parent club Spurs.

The Dane was incredibly complimentary about the defender during his short stint in west London, declaring after the player's arrival: "Sergio is a perfect fit for us: a proven Premier League player in every aspect. He fits what we want. He's very offensive, has a very good cross and a very good left foot. "He's got the experience we need to complement the rest of the squad and he's a good character. We need him, but I also think he needs us to show how good a footballer he is. I'm convinced that this will be a positive partnership."

Reguilon's career in north London began to nosedive in the summer of 2022 when Antonio Conte left him behind for the club's pre-season tour of South Korea .

He was handed a brief lifeline last season, however, by Ange Postecoglou. While he wasn't part of the team's historic Europa League campaign, he made four appearances in the Premier League plus one in the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

Back in December, Reguilon appeared to mock himself after entering the pitch in the closing stages of Spurs' dramatic 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Manchester United.

He wrote on Instagram after the game: "Look mum, I played a football game yesterday," despite only playing around one minute.
