MLS Cup winners Inter Miami have signed former Real Madrid and Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon following the retirement of Jordi Alba.

Both Alba and his former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets called time on their glittering careers following Miami's 3-1 MLS Cup final win over the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Herons have now moved to replace the legendary left-back with another Spain international, with Reguilon joining as a free agent.

Reguilon – who also spent half-season loan spells with Manchester United and Brentford – had been without a club since leaving Tottenham at the end of last season.

The 28-year-old, whose six senior Spain caps came in 2020 and 2021, has penned an initial two-year contract to cover 2026 and 2027, when the MLS calendar will shift to become aligned with the European football season.

Miami, who tied Lionel Messi down to a three-year contract extension in October, also have an option to extend Reguilon's stay by a further 12 months. 

"It's a very ambitious project, a winning club that is doing things the right way, and that's what attracted me: coming here to keep winning and competing," Reguilon told Miami's website.

"My objective is to keep winning, go after the trophies we're missing, and win everything here."

Miami will open their 2026 MLS campaign against Los Angeles FC on February 21, with Florida rivals Orlando City their second opponents.
