Atletico Madrid are keen on Hincapie, an Ecuador international, and have already begun talks with his representatives. This development has cast doubt on a potential move for Romero, who is 27 years old and eager to leave Tottenham this summer.
The Premier League side may be unwilling to let Romero go at a high price, especially if Atletico Madrid are no longer interested in signing him. This could impact Romero's chances of joining his preferred league and club.
