OK, the transfer window has officially gone Full Sicko™. According to our good friend Lyall Thomas and the Sky Sports Transfer Tracker, Barcelona are now making “inquiries” for Tottenham Hotspur’s want-away fullback Sergio Reguilon.
What a day! What a lovely day!
So Carty Free’s chat called this “Barcelona picking nickels off the sidewalk” and yeah kind of hard to argue with that one, but considering Reggie is unlikely to get a squad number if he doesn’t leave, the guy has gotta go SOMEWHERE, right? So why not Barcelona? It’s not as though Barca don’t have infinite palancas to pull.
And really, it might make sense for Barcelona. Reggie’s in his last year of his contract so they can probably get him for a song and a promise of a future preseason friendly against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or something, IDK. And it’s not like Reguilon can’t do a job — he was pretty good on loan at Brentford last season, so this is kind of like Spurs taking a flyer on Manor Solomon (minus the war profiteering part).
What’s in the tweet is basically all we’ve got to go on so who knows, but man this stuff is just funny at this point. And who would imagine the two fullbacks Spurs are trying to ditch end up at AC Milan and Barcelona? This transfer window is so crazy.
