Real Madrid's High Potential Defender Garners Interest From Paris Saint-Germain And Chelsea

KEY POINTS

Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon is expected to develop further as a defender
Teams such as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have gained interest for the 23-year-old
Reguilon is estimated to be priced at 22.5 million Euros

The player development in Real Madrid is one of the key strengths of the club as they ensure high potential talent is monitored well. This may be a strategy used for Los Blancos as Sergio Reguilon has gained interest from Paris-Saint Germain and Chelsea.

The young defender has been one of the more promising players for Los Blancos with the way he moves on the field. Blessed with the combination of athleticism, speed and overall feel for the game, Reguilon is a player Real Madrid can look out for in the near future.

If PSG or Chelsea would want to sign the 23-year-old, it would be crucial for Real Madrid to have the option to repurchase their rising star, per Fansided’s The Real Champs.

Loaning players to other teams will give them more experience to grow with the considerable increase in playing time they will receive. The same can be said when Zinedine Zidane did a similar move recently when they shipped Reinier Jesus Carvalho to Borussia Dortmund. Another notable deal was when the team sent Miguel Baeza to play for Celta Vigo in the upcoming season.

Sending promising prospects to a playing environment where they can improve their skills rather than sit on the bench has done wonders for the club.

The current asking price for Reguilon is at 22.4 million Euros. It will be interesting to see how the deal will turn out and if a buy-back clause will be included in the negotiations.

As a member of Real Madrid Castilla, Reguilon appeared in 48 games and even tallied two goals and four assists. During the 2019 season, he was loaned to Sevilla FC and played significantly increased minutes for the club. In the most recent La Liga season, he managed to start in 29 games and playing in a total of 35 matches.

It will be vital to see how Real Madrid moves forward with a talented prospect gaining interest from several clubs. Expectations are high for Zidane’s Real Madrid and it’ll be important how they will build their team for the years to come.
