Player Watch - Sergio Reguilón (Brentford)

[austinfh]

sounds like he needs convincing

Reading elsewhere that Madrid have two young LBs in their academy, David de la Vibora and Miguel Gutierrez, that they rate as potential world class talents. It seems a reasonable possibility that in two or three years if Mendy is nailed on first choice and they have a homegrown talent to slot in as backup they may not want to spend a big fee on Reguilon. Also the whole reason Reguilon wants to leave is because he wants to be first choice and he's currently behind Mendy, if that situation remains the same then Reguilon himself may not want to return to Madrid. There's more than enough reason not to let the buyback clause scupper the deal, IMO.

Seems to me that essentially United have decided not to sign a quality player because they think they're a club of prestige and enjoy sniffing their own farts.

Left footed ex Madrid player plays well against us
...
Tottenham: I'll take 2

He's talking about a first option, not even a buy back. That's great, as it means we're not held into a certain fee.

He's saying both. There is a buy back and a first option.

Although I don't know why Man Utd would have an issue with first option... so maybe he's not being clear

Yeah, I see now

 

[McFlash]

Would be very happy with that buyback.
We have Sess and Cirkin waiting in the wings and it just means that Real would have to match whatever bid we accept, were we to accept one.
Fine by me.

Don't think that will be a problem. For some weird reason he has old tweets that show he's a Tottenham & Mourinho fan.

Bit of creativity as we always here seems to be at play. Might help with Bale financials. Hopefully I don't wake up. Coys!

The scenes of when we do sign him how SC will spell his name:

Reguilon
Regelion
Regilon
Regulon
Reggie-long

and the pronounciations....

Reggie sorted

Buyback at 499 million please ???

I reckon he's been convinced. No way Levy sanctions it unless he wants the move.

 

[kieranfitchett]

A top class left back for three seasons and when he eventually goes its for a profit? Fine

 

[spursfan77]

We must be accepting the buy back clause then. That's a bit of a bummer

It can be bought out at any stage I suspect should we offer enough.

 

[Joely]

Take it any buyback would be at an agreed price and also probably not enforceable within an agreed period (i.e Madrid unable to buyback in the say first 2-3 seasons)?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Nah. No way is this real. We don’t do buy-back agreements.
