Sergio Reguilon, 27, has returned to the club after ending his loan spell at Manchester United.
However, he is most likely to be on loan or transfer in the second half of the year.
"Legilon has returned from Manchester United. He joined Manchester United on loan early in the season and played in 12 games," Tottenham Hotspur announced on its website on Wednesday.
Manchester United also said, "Reguilon will return to his original team, Tottenham, following the invocation of an early termination clause on loan. He joined on loan and made a positive contribution in the first half of the season. Luke Shaw and Tyral Malacia faithfully served to fill the gap between the two players while they were sidelined due to long-term injuries."
"It was great to play for Manchester United and I want to thank my club, fans, and teammates. It was an honor to play for this huge club. I wish Manchester United all the best," Regilon wrote on his personal social media.
Reguilon has not been used as a major player except in his first season with Tottenham. As a result, he left for Atletico Madrid on loan and moved to Manchester United in the first half of this season. It was not used much by Manchester United either. He played 12 official matches, but only played in 655 minutes.
That's how he returned to Tottenham, and the future is gray. Earlier, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said, "Legilon will not remain at Tottenham, and a new loan is expected in the January transfer market," while the U.K.'s The Times said, "Tottenham plans to sell Legilon or send a loan again this month." Connecting clubs include Bournemouth, Sevilla, and Villarreal.
Regilon and Tottenham's contract period is until June 2025. It is necessary to solve the problem of their future, and Tottenham is full of left-backs, including Destiny Udoji, Ben Davis, and Ryan Sessegnon. This is why there is no room even if they return.
