– Sergio Reguilon could seal a move to Chelsea this summer

– The Real Madrid defender spent 2019-20 season on loan at Sevilla

– Man United, Spurs, Inter and Everton are also monitoring his progress

Chelsea are reportedly edging closer to reaching a deal with Real Madrid for the transfer of their defender Sergio Reguilon this summer.

The Blues opted for the 23-year-old Spaniard as an alternative for Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell who has been heavily linked with a move to the Stamford Bridge.

However, the Stamford Bridge outfit has been pushed back after the Foxes demanded £80 million before allowing their player to leave.

SunSport quoting ESPN reveals that negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage with just a few more things just to be taken care of.

Reguilon was not part of the La Liga title triumph having spent the 2019-20 season at Sevilla under former boss Julen Lopetegui.

The defender scored twice and assisted four other goals in 31 Spanish League appearances during his loan spell. He has also established himself as one of Spain’s top full-backs in the process.

Apart from Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Inter Milan have also shown interest in signing the defender.

Reguilon was also recently linked with a move to Everton as a replacement for retiring Leighton Baines at Goodison Park.

Reports claim they made an offer of around £18 million but Chelsea might be willing to pay more to secure his services.

Been reported by @SkySports that Chelsea have joined Everton in the race to sign Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilón, voted "the best left-back in La Liga" last season. The Blues see him as a cheaper alternative to Ben Chilwell. What’s your thoughts on this guys? pic.twitter.com/R9QY119zhp
