Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilon has been discussing the potential for him to return to Real Madrid.

The Spanish defender has only been with Spurs for a couple of months, but speculation is already picking up about his long-term future.

Reguilon has become an instant hit with the Spurs faithful, delighting supporters with his quality on the pitch and infectious personality off it.

The star, who signed for a reported £27 million (Independent), has been brilliant in north London, but there are already worries about his future given Real Madrid supposedly have a buy-back clause inserted into his Spurs deal.

And now Reguilon has spoken about the notion of Real re-signing him. He told El Larguero: “Madrid is my home and where I grew up.

“In the future you never know but the possibility is there… I didn’t speak to the boss, it was more with the club.

“I know what they think of me, I had to take a decision. Time will tell. I didn’t ask for explanations.”

TBR’s View – The black cloud lingering

Spurs fans are loving Reguilon right now, but that buy-back clause really looks like it could be cause for concern.

He clearly is a quality player, and every time he plays well there will be mention about him going back to his homeland, especially with Brazilian Marcelo not getting any younger.

The buy-back was seemingly a condition that just had to be met for Spurs to get Reguilon, and fans may well be heading for heartache over the 23-year-old.
