Sergio Reguilón Set to Join Inter Miami Following Jordi Alba’s Retirement

Miami, FL – October 8, 2025 – Inter Miami CF is on the verge of signing Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilón as a replacement for retiring veteran Jordi Alba, according to sources close to the club. The 28-year-old free agent, whose contract with Tottenham Hotspur expired this summer, has prioritized a move to the Major League Soccer (MLS) side despite lucrative offers from La Liga clubs and a €4 million net annual salary proposal from Persepolis in Iran.Reguilón’s decision comes as Inter Miami seeks to reinforce its defense following Alba’s shocking retirement announcement, which he shared via Instagram, citing the need for a new chapter after a distinguished career. The transfer talks are already advanced, with the club viewing Reguilón’s speed and attacking prowess—honed during his stints with Real Madrid, Sevilla, and Tottenham—as ideal for MLS dynamics. 

This move aligns with Inter Miami’s strategy to leverage its global profile, bolstered by Lionel Messi’s presence, ahead of the 2026 season at Miami Freedom Park. With Alba’s departure freeing up a designated player spot, alongside Sergio Busquets’ recent retirement, the club is poised to reshape its roster, potentially adding attacking talent to complement its evolving squad.
