Manchester United’s Europa League-winning goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, is reportedly in talks with Real Betis as he looks to secure a new club following his release from Old Trafford. The Argentine shot-stopper finds himself facing competition from Premier League newcomers Sheffield United and Luton Town for his signature.
Romero, who was a key figure in Manchester United’s successful Europa League campaign last season, has been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Red Devils’ signing of English goalkeeper Dean Henderson has further diminished Romero’s chances of regular playing time.
Real Betis, who finished sixth in La Liga last season, are believed to be keen on acquiring the services of the experienced goalkeeper. Talks between Romero and the Spanish club are said to be progressing well, with the player looking to find a new home where he can continue his career.
However, Betis face competition from newly promoted Premier League sides Sheffield United and Luton Town. Both clubs are reportedly interested in securing Romero’s services as they look to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season.
Romero, who joined Manchester United in 2015 from Italian side Sampdoria, has made a total of 61 appearances for the Red Devils. Despite being primarily a backup option, the 33-year-old has impressed whenever called upon, showcasing his shot-stopping abilities and commanding presence in goal.
With Romero available on a free transfer, it is expected that several clubs will express their interest in signing the experienced goalkeeper. His wealth of experience in top-flight football, including spells in Italy and Argentina, makes him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their defensive options.
As negotiations continue between Romero and Real Betis, it remains to be seen which club the Argentine will ultimately choose. With Sheffield United and Luton Town also vying for his signature, the goalkeeper will have to weigh his options carefully before making a decision on his future.
