Tottenham hope Atletico Madrid still want Cristian Romero
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are desperate for Atletico to come back in for Romero this summer.
There is a real consensus that with Marcos Senesi in advanced talks to sign from Bournemouth, Tottenham would welcome interest in Romero.

Romero has done some good things since signing for Tottenham, but strengthening the rearguard has to be considered a priority for De Zerbi.

Romero has played 156 times in total for Tottenham, but it’s hard to imagine too many fans being overly concerned if he leaves to be replaced by Senesi from Bournemouth this summer.
