Sergio Reguilón

[RORY65]

If the club think he's good and will improve us then I'm not really fussed by there being a buy back clause, even if it's a bit less than has been suggested in here. If it does get activated it will mean that we've had a left back (a position where we do need to improve) who has performed well for us for a year or two and then we've been able to make a profit on selling (something we've failed to do repeatedly). There was a lot of talk in January that one of several reasons we didn't get Haaland was because we wouldn't accept a release clause (which still would have given us a significant profit if activated down the line) and so instead we have Odion Ighalo.

 

[red_de_pologne]

So nothing new at all then?

 

[altodevil]

Buy back clause is nothing bad. If he is a good player then we get 2/3 years of a great left-back and, after wages, maybe make a small profit on him. Bayern just won the UCL with loan players.

 

[Amarsdd]

Would Real even agree to that? That's too high a buyback and they aren't silly

Well they want to sell, and we look like the only ones willing to pay.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

If we get him for 25M and buy back is for 55-60M then I wouldn't worry about it. He's not going to be a generational talent like Haaland whom we couldn't afford to have that sort of clause.

I wouldn't worry about it but I wouldn't think much of it either.

 

[SATA]

I think they can easily find another loan club for him but yeah i do think they want to sell for a player they don't really need. Baffling that Sevilla didn’t take him again given they are still interested after his loan expired. Perhaps we are really interested

Yeah and then keep our eyes out on the market with the knowledge we’ll have £25 mill to go towards getting a better player in once he leaves.

 

[Offside]

It’s turning into yet another saga where the same story is just being repeated over and over.

 

[Rozay]

Even if he stayed for a couple of years and Real bought him back at a profit, it may just turn out that we have another Real madrid academy left-back ready to go at that time in Alvaro Fernandez.

Its same for Telles/Reguilon/Thiago/Sancho/Upamecano. With out VanderSar even VDB's transfer would have taken ages at this rate.

But what we can do? I am happy at least we got a player in this window.

I am happy we seem to be more considerate in the transfer market. If Madrid want a buy-back clause this should be a non-starter.

 

[sp_107]

Are you happy if we sign just Reguilon + Bale on a 15M /year loan deal in this window along with VDB ?

 

[sewey89]

James Cooper just said on Sky, “I’m told that one is unlikely” when talking about Reguilon

 

[AltiUn]

Are you happy if we sign just Reguilon + Bale on a 15M /year loan deal in this window along with VDB ?

Not really. Bale is a technically a RW but he's barely even a footballer at this point. I don't think we'll be going for a CB after Solskjaer's comments about Mengi.

 

[Svartzonker]

First refusal is fine, but big no to buy back clause.

With the first refusal Madrid can ensure that Barcelona don’t buy him replace Alba in a year or two.

 

[Santoryo]

The Caf has seen this guy play once or twice and they've decided that he's better than Shaw. Never change Caf, grass always greener.

For the Caf it doesn't matter what player it is, whether they actually even know how good or bad he is, as long as he is a new face that we're linked with, said linked player instantly becomes better than our own even if said linked players was being sought after to be added as depth.

Caf being the Caf. Not even surprised.

You’re right in everything you say but to be fair to Caf a 10 second YouTube clip of him whipping in 2-3 decent balls is enough to make you certain he would at least offer something a lot different to Shaw.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Think we'd see a lot more of the 3-5-2 if we signed him with Shaw as the LCB.

 

[Suv666]

If we get him for 25M and buy back is for 55-60M then I wouldn't worry about it. He's not going to be a generational talent like Haaland whom we couldn't afford to have that sort of clause.

I dont think Real are daft enough to accept that. At most it'll be 35-40M. If they agree to an insane price like 60M then yeah, we should go ahead.

 

[Zoo]

 

[Blood Mage]

We are the best club in the world at preparing bids. Personally I think we will sign Telles instead in the last week of the window as he'd be happier being backup for Shaw, whom the club aren't prepared to give up on yet.

 

[Infestissumam]

we're back preparing bids, you love to see it.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

I don’t think we really want him, I think if we do sign him it’ll simply be to appease the fans because we’re not getting Sancho. We’ll probably end up getting him & Bale on loan.

 

[Jordan_mufc]

I don’t think we really want him, I think if we do sign him it’ll simply be to appease the fans because we’re not getting Sancho. We’ll probably end up getting him & Bale on loan.

Why would we sign a full back (a position where we badly need depth) just to make up for the Sancho failings? Not as if Reguilon is a big name either. Doesn't make sense

 

[AshRK]

It’s turning into yet another saga where the same story is just being repeated over and over.

I would love to get a documentary or something where we can get a better understanding of Woodward's and Matt Judge's incompetence.

 

[soralapio]

Four days to go before United's season starts, so let's twiddle our thumbs and consider the possibility of preparing opening bids. Still time to scout some players too! Everything is possible at Ed Woodward's Dream Factory!

 

[Lash]

I don't see us rushing this at all. Sevilla have moved on, we seem like the only one who could come close to what Real are looking for and LB isn't a priority. I wouldn't hold your breathe on this one, but if it does go through, it will likely be at a bargain price.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Because our fans just want signings.

 

[CG1010]

Because our fans just want signings.

Probably all those fans who are saying no to Bale didn't get the memo that we are all supposed to just want signings

 

[roonster09]

Exactly. People are forgetting our first choice LB's fitness record is poor and we need depth badly, even better if we sign player who can push Shaw out of 11 which means he will be playing at very high level and we will have awesome option on the bench.

Yeah couldn't agree more

 

[RonaldoVII]

He's not going to stay at Real and be 3rd choice left back so expecting this one to be wrapped up.

 

[starman]

If we sign him for 25m and we stick a 50/60m buyback that can only be activated after 3 years thats fine, if he agrees to any buyback in his contract he clearly than wants to return to Real eventually anyway, and we won't be able to stand in his way, buyback or no buy back

I don't even think he was mentioned here before August, now he's a 'bargain' at £30m - which would be one of the highest fees for a left back of all time.

 

[KennyBurner]

If Madrid want a buy back clause we should just walk away. Don’t know who they think we are.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Won't pay FC

To be fair we've all seen Shaw play hundreds of times so we know the barrier isn't that high.

 

[Giggs' right foot]

The biggest club in the world in the majority of players' eyes? Which they are? That's the reason we lost Ruud to Madrid. He even had a Real Madrid release clause put in, when he renewed his contract with us. Gill and SAF didn't seem to be bothered, since the fee was high. If the same goes for Reguilon, that the release fee is high and profitable, I say we go for him.

 

[Rake]

Agree a clause that is at least 2,3 times what we pay for him and we should be fine. That being said, don't like a player that has his sights on leaving even before he has signed...

 

[roonster09]

I don't even think he was mentioned here before August, now he's a 'bargain' at £30m - which would be one of the highest fees for a left back of all time.

Lucas Hernandez, Mendy, Chilwell, Ferland Mendy, Luke Shaw, Coentrao, Spinazzola all cost more than 25 million euros (Not sure where you got 30 million pounds from).

Among defenders, this will be 70th highest fee ever.
