Antonio Conte's former side Juventus are interested in signing Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon this summer and look set to battle Sevilla to complete a deal.
football.london understands that following the arrival of Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan, Reguilon has dropped down the pecking order at Spurs and is likely to leave following the Spaniard's omission from the club's pre-season tour of South Korea. Antonio Conte admitted during his press conference ahead of Tottenham's first pre-season fixture against Team K League that the club will continue to look to strengthen their squad in the transfer market if the right opportunity presents itself.
Various reports in the past week suggest that Sevilla have registered an interest in signing Reguilon from Spurs this summer, following Ludwig Augustinsson's departure to join Aston Villa on-loan. However, reports from Italy have now linked Conte's former side Juve with a potential move for the 25-year-old.

The 25-year-old defender joined the Lilywhites from Real Madrid in 2020 for a fee in the region of £25million. Spurs are unlikely to recoup a similar fee for Reguilon that they paid for him two years ago, but any income could be put towards other targets such as Djed Spence.
football.london understands Spurs remain locked in talks with Championship side Middlesbrough over a deal for the 21-year-old, but a fee is still yet to be agreed. According to Calciomercato in Italy, Juventus are now preparing a move for Reguilon as they look to battle Sevilla for his signature.
The 25-year-old played just 31 times for Conte's side last season and returned to training following a groin injury this summer. The arrival of Perisic from Inter Milan and impressive form of Ryan Sessegnon last season means Reguilon's chances of first team football will be limited next term, meaning the Spain international would require a move away from N17 if he wants regular first team football.
