Real Madrid challenge Man Utd for Sergio Romero

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero.


Madrid join Manchester United and Roma in the chase for the 28-year-old Argentina international, who became a free agent after leaving Sampdoria last month.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Romero's agent Mino Raiola has already held talks with the Red Devils and Roma, with the Premier League outfit reportedly offering higher wages of £1.4million a season.

United are believed to have identified Romero, along with Ajax shot-stopper Jasper Cillessen as potential replacements for David De Gea, should the Dutchman leave the club for the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer.

Roma are reportedly willing to make Romero their first choice keeper, which could sway his final decision but Madrid have also entered the fray after seeing veteran Iker Casillas leave for FC Porto earlier this week.
