The 2025 season for Inter Miami ended as one of the most impressive in the clubâs short history, setting a high standard as they look ahead to the next campaign. But with key players leaving, the club is making moves to keep a competitive squad around Lionel Messi. On Monday, the Herons announced a new signing to replace Jordi Alba, whoâs retiring from soccer.
Inter Miami made the move official through a social media announcement, confirming that Sergio Reguilon, the Spanish left back and former Real Madrid player, is a new member of the squad. Reguilon arrives with valuable experience across multiple European leagues and clubs, adding depth, pedigree, and proven quality as Inter Miami continue to build toward sustained success.
In their official announcement, Inter Miami confirmed that Reguilon signed a contract through December 2027, with an extension option that runs until December 2028. The Spanish left back also delivered his first comments as an official player of the club, fully aware of the responsibility that comes with replacing Jordi Alba.
âItâs a very ambitious project, a winning club that is doing things the right way, and thatâs what attracted me: coming here to keep winning and competing,â Reguilon said. âMy objective is to keep winning, go after the trophies weâre missing, and win everything here.â

Reguilonâs journey
Reguilonâs professional path began in Real Madridâs youth academy, which he joined at the age of nine and progressed through every level of the system. After a developmental loan spell with UD Logrones between 2015 and 2017 in Segunda Division B, he returned to feature for Real Madrid Castilla.

His first-team debut came in October 2018, and during the 2018â2019 season he delivered solid performances while being part of the squad that won the FIFA Club World Cup. Despite that positive run, the club opted to send him out on loan, a decision that would significantly shape his career.
The turning point arrived during his loan with Sevilla FC in the 2019â2020 season. Under Julen Lopetegui, Reguilon enjoyed a breakout campaign, establishing himself as one of the top left backs in La Liga and helping Sevilla capture the UEFA Europa League title. Those performances earned him a move to England and also led to his debut with Spain national team in 2020.
Later that year, Tottenham Hotspur secured his signing, marking his arrival in the Premier League. While he initially played an important role in London, his career then included multiple loan spells, featuring with Atletico Madrid in 2022â2023, followed by short stints at Manchester United and Brentford FC during the 2023â2024 season. Now, he takes on a major challenge in the next stage of his career, sharing the field with Lionel Messi and helping Inter Miami continue competing for trophies.
