As per The Athletic, Everton is keen on signing the Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero from Manchester United this summer. The talks are already ongoing and a deal may be struck if both parties are convinced.
Obviously, Everton attempted to sign him last year too however the Red Devils rejected a loan offer from Everton for Romero.
Romero was the third-choice goalkeeper at Manchester United behind David De Gea and Dean Henderson. The Argentine global will expect to join a club where he can play regular first-team football and a move to Goodison Park could be ideal for him.
Romero will provide the much-needed competition for Pickford for the No.1 spot at Everton. The Toffees are in urgent need of an update on Jordan Pickford and Romero could challenge their shot-stopper for the top spot for sure.
Pickford has been prone to making a lot of mistakes for Everton and the goalkeeping position has been a significant soft spot for the Merseyside outfit throughout the recent two years.
The 96 times capped Argentine goalkeeper’s contract with Manchester United lapses soon and he would be a good addition for the Everton squad. Meanwhile, Manchester United has signed goalkeeper Tom Heaton from Aston Villa which certainly indicates that Romero has no place in the squad and is ready to leave.
Romero has the quality and the experience to be the main goalkeeper at Everton and his signing could end up being a hope for the Merseyside outfit. The 34-year-old’s signing could certainly save their money on that position and they could buy players for other positions that need to be strengthened right now.
The goalkeeper is believed to be on the radar of Juventus and Celta Vigo too. In any case, the report adds that the player is enthusiastic about staying in the Premier League for one year.
