Official: Atletico Madrid sign Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham
Atletico Madrid have confirmed the capture of former Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon on loan from Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spanish left-back came through the youth ranks at Los Rojiblancos’ local rivals but made his name during a loan spell at Sevilla in the 2019/20 campaign. Following that Tottenham signed in the summer of 2020 in a deal worth around €30 million.
Reguilon made a solid impression in his first season in London, but the arrival of Antonio Conte saw the left-back fall out of favour quite rapidly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Having seen his game-time reduce over the second half of the last season, Reguilon was completely frozen out this summer by Conte, with Tottenham even signing Ivan Perisic as his replacement.
Reguilon had been in talks with several clubs over a potential exit, but ultimately it is Atletico Madrid who have clinched his signing on loan for the rest of the season.
As per the terms of the agreement the Colchoneros will be covering the entirety of his wages for the duration he is on loan, while there is no option or obligation to buy included in the operation.
Reguilon arrives as a replacement for Renan Lodi, who completed a loan transfer to Premier League newbies Nottingham Forest on Monday.
The former Real Madrid left-back has not played in a competitive fixture in nearly four months and will likely take time to be integrated into Diego Simeone’s side at the Civitas Metropolitano.

UEFA open investigation against multiple Real Madrid players over celebration vs Atletico
More than two weeks after Real Madrid’s controversial win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16, UEFA has sent quite the shockwave to the defending European champions.
In a recent statement, UEFA has announced they have started an open investigation against a series of Real Madrid players for the way they celebrated after winning against Atletico Madrid, about two weeks back.
What is the investigation about?
As reported by MARCA, the European governing body is specifically looking into the actions of Antonio Rudiger, Kylian Mbappe, Dani Ceballos, and Vinicius Jr.
The controversy stems from Real Madrid’s celebrations after knocking out city rivals Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
The celebrations took place near the section of the stadium occupied by Real Madrid supporters, but some actions by the players have drawn scrutiny.
“A UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to investigate allegations of indecent conduct by Real Madrid CF players (Antonio Rudiger, Kylian Mbappe, Daniel Ceballos Fernandez and Vinicius Junior) during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match between Club Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid on 12 March 2025,” UEFA said in an official statement.
Rudiger is being investigated for a gesture in which he placed his hand around his neck, while Mbappe reportedly made an inappropriate gesture by touching his genitals.
Vinicius, on the other hand, was involved in heated interactions with Atletico fans both before and after the match, while Ceballos was seen enthusiastically joining the celebrations.
The celebrations from Real Madrid players drew hostility from Atletico Madrid fans for obvious reasons, with the opposition fans resorting to throwing bottles on the pitch.
Jude Bellingham was even among the ones hit by these throwing objects from Atleti fans while Vinicius pointed to the Real Madrid crest on his shirt, which might have played a role in further fuming tension.
Rodrygo, on the other hand, responded to the hostility from Atleti fans by dancing inside the pitch.
UEFA has appointed an Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector to review the incidents, although it is very much likely that Real Madrid would appeal against any sanctions placed on the event of any breach.
