Inter Miami is close to finalizing another high-profile signing ahead of the season’s final stretch: Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilón. According to Flashscore and multiple North American outlets, the 28-year-old is in advanced negotiations with the Florida club and is expected to sign in the coming days.

Currently a free agent after leaving Tottenham, Reguilón reportedly views Lionel Messi’s Miami project as the ideal platform to relaunch his career at the highest level.

A Proven Career and a Modern Profile

A product of Real Madrid’s famed academy, Reguilón built a steady career in top-tier European football, featuring for clubs like Sevilla, Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham. Known for his speed, overlapping runs, sharp crosses, and aggressive defensive style, he fits the profile of a modern full-back — something Inter Miami has lacked in key moments this season.

Jordi Alba’s Retirement Leaves a Gap

Reguilón’s arrival also comes at a critical time. With Jordi Alba today announcing his retirement, the club urgently needs reinforcement on the left flank. At 36, Alba had shown signs of physical decline, and although the club hoped for internal competition at the position, his sudden departure leaves Reguilón poised to step in immediately — and without waiting for the next transfer window.

This gives Miami a rare advantage heading into the season’s final phase: a fresh, top-level left-back eligible to play right away.

Why Reguilón Chose Miami

Beyond the sporting need, the draw of Inter Miami is obvious. The chance to play alongside Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets is a unique proposition — and part of what’s made the club a magnet for elite talent.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Reguilón has already turned down multiple offers in Europe and South America. Miami is his top priority.

If the deal is finalized, Reguilón would bring not just pedigree, but energy and versatility to a defense that’s struggled in both MLS and Leagues Cup play. For Inter Miami, it’s a timely move that could define their postseason fate and a push to give Alba and Busquets one more accolade on their sunsetting careers.
