Simeone Reacts As Sixth Ex-Real Madrid Player In Recent History Set To Join Atletico
According to multiple sources, former Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon is closing in on his La Liga return. Atletico Madrid want to sign the defender on loan from Tottenham.
Los Colchoneros coach Diego Simeone has commented on Reguilon's potential move, given his passion for Real Madrid. Here's what he said: "Reguilon? Juanfran, Filipe Luis were at Real Madrid too & they’re part of club’s history. [Alvaro] Morata’s doing well, [Marcos] Llorente, [Mario] Hermoso did well when for us to become champions. I look at them as footballers first and foremost".
It didn't take long for Los Blancos fans to react.
Sa11oum: "Juanfran is a Real Madrid all-timer, in the 2016 final gave away the foul that lead to the 1-0, and then proceeded to miss his penalty in the shootout".
bot8338: "The team is almost composed of former Real Madrid player".
FelixFuenla: "Marcos Llorente, Alvaro Morata, Mario Hermoso and now Reguilon... Atleti signing Madrid leftovers".
Sergio Reguilon could become the 6th Real Madrid player in recent history to join the opposing camp.
