Toffees' £18m Regulion bid may tempt Madrid
Sky Sports have claimed that Everton lead the race to secure the services of Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon, adding that an £18m bid has been placed for the 23-year-old.
Madrid fan favourite Reguilon has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs, but the Toffees' latest bid could well tempt the Spanish club to part with their star academy graduate. Part of the reason behind Reguilon's possible departure is finances, with reports claiming Madrid must raise £180m this summer to balance books.
Meanwhile in Merseyside, Carlo Ancelotti wishes to sign Regulion as a replacement for the recently retired Leighton Baines.
