Real Madrid and Sevilla have agreed to the loan of Sergio Reguilón for the next season, until June 30, 2020.

The defender has risen through the ranks at Real Madrid in recent seasons, having originally joined the club as a youth player in 2005 at age eight.

Aside from two loans to lower-division side UD Logrones from 2015-17, Reguilon has risen steadily through the Real Madrid system, featuring primarily for Real Madrid Castilla until this past season.

Reguilon made 22 total appearances for Real Madrid in 2018-19, including his professional debut on 2 October 2018 in a Champions League loss to CSKA Moscow and his league debut one month later in a Champions League win over Real Valladolid.

The defender came into the first team under Santiago Solari, who preferred the youngster over Marcelo.

The 22-year-old struggled for game time after Zinedine Zidane's return as head coach, however, making two La Liga appearances following Solari's departure.

Reguilon will link up with former Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui in Seville and becomes the club's eighth signing of the transfer window.

Reguilón says after signing: 'I’m facing a new stage with a clear conscience of having left everything for this crest. See you soon.'

'This club has allowed me to be the player & the person that I’m today & would not change anything of this incredible journey. Thanks to the club, my teammates, coaches & especially the fans. I feel very loved by Madridismo & it is a love that I always carry with me.'

The left-back made 14 appearances last season at Real Madrid, with two assists and no goals.
