Man United transfer news: Red Devils table €30m Reguilon bid, Real want buy-back clause
Man United transfer news: Red Devils have reportedly launched a €30m bid for Sergio Reguilon, with Real Madrid keen on adding a buy-back clause in the deal.
With the new Premier League season on the horizon, Manchester United have picked up pace in their transfer activity after lurking behind Borussia Dortmund and Jadon Sancho for months. With Dortmund's stance on the move crystal clear, Man United transfer news suggests that the Red Devils are eyeing reinforcements in other critical areas of the squad. While the signing of Donny van de Beek from Ajax was completed earlier this week, reports have linked Sergio Reguilon to United in recent days.
Sergio Reguilon to United? Red Devils make €30m bid for left-back
Despite splashing the cash on Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka last summer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bolster his defence and Sergio Reguilon has recently been linked with the Red Devils. The 23-year-old, on loan from Real Madrid, was part of the Sevilla side that knocked Man United out in the semi-final en route to their Europa League crown. The Sergio Reguilon to United deal will see him compete with Luke Shaw and academy graduate Brandon Williams.
According to Man United transfer news by Sport, the Red Devils have lodged a €30m offer for the 23-year-old. The likes of Champions League finalists Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the Spaniard. Premier League rivals Tottenham, and Serie A sides Juventus and Napoli are also interested in bringing the Sevilla star in on loan.

Sergio Reguilon buy back clause: Los Blancos keen on adding clause in Reguilon to United deal
While Sergio Reguilon's immediate future lies away from Real Madrid, the LaLiga champions remain interested in having him on board. Zinedine Zidane currently has Ferland Mendy slotting in as the first choice left-back, while club legend Marcelo slots into the XI frequently. The Brazilain's contract ends in 2022 which would then pave the way for Reguilon's return.
Los Blancos want to send the 23-year-old to Sevilla for another season-long loan, but admit that it might prove difficult considering the interest from Man United and other clubs. According to the roundup of Man United transfer news this week, a Sergio Reguilon buy back clause is likely to be added in any deal agreed with Real Madrid, giving the LaLiga giants an option to bring back their academy graduate. Los Blancos have used the buy-back clause frequently in the past decade, signing Casemiro, Alvaro Morata, Dani Carvajal and Mariano Diaz having first sold them.
