Now, according to the Sun, Real Madrid have identified Romero as a priority target as they seek to bolster their aging back line.
Incoming manager Xabi Alonso is said to be a ‘big fan’ of Romero and has asked the club to sign him once he officially takes over.
Real are set to have a busy summer with Trent Alexander-Arnold likely to join the Spanish giants as part of the overhaul.
