Inter Miami is not slowing down and continues to strengthen with big names. The Florida club announced the signing of Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilon. The 28-year-old defender will take on another challenge in his career by joining Lionel Messi’s Championship side.
Reguilon has signed a contract until December 2027, with an option to extend until the end of 2028. His arrival has excited Miami fans, but questions have also been raised after he hasn’t played in the months since his contract with Tottenham ended. However, Inter Miami are confident that they can recover the level of football that will keep them in European competition for several seasons in order to maintain a competitive level on the left flank.
Who is Sergio Reguilon?
Sergio Reguilon came from Real Madrid’s youth ranks and played 22 games for the first team before moving to a number of famous clubs. Sevilla, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Brentford have all been part of a career rich with talent but also marked by injury instability.
Despite these ups and downs, his attacking quality, speed and ability to get forward made him an attractive option for Inter Miami, who are looking for an immediate solution in defense without sacrificing depth on the wings.

Replacing Jordi Alba is not an easy task. Reguilon will have to not only occupy his position, but also adapt to a system that requires him to synchronize with Leo Messi and adapt quickly to the pace of MLS. The player himself emphasized the appeal of this project:
I’m happy to be here, and I’ll do my best. I think it’s a club that’s doing very well, they’re champions at the moment and that’s what attracts me. That’s the winning team.
With this deal, Inter Miami strengthens its commitment to European experience and keeps its ambitions intact. For Sergio Reguilon, this means a new opportunity to restart his career. For Leo Messi and Co., the addition of a proven full-back seeks to ensure continued competition in a team that is not satisfied and is looking to expand its dominance in MLS.
