Transfer Rumours

Chelsea interested in Manchester United outcast

Chelsea are reportedly looking to sign Sergio Romero who may be allowed to leave by Manchester United this month.

Whilst everyone’s attention has been on new signing Donny van de Beek this week, the more saddening story has slipped by almost unnoticed in the press.

The 33-year-old has been at Old Trafford for five years, in which time he has kept a fantastic 39 clean sheets in 61 games and has earned the reputation of the Premier League’s best backup keeper – a role he has always accepted with patience and dignity, having been brought into the club as David de Gea‘s replacement when he looked set to join Real Madrid.

Chelsea had splashed out a huge £71 million to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga when Thibaut Courtois left for Real Madrid two years ago. The Spanish shot-stopper has failed to impress the folks as well as the fans at The Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard is looking to sign a new recruit in lieu of Kepa’s disappointing performance last season.

According to The Athletic, Romero is a player the Blues are considering. Chelsea have been extremely busy this transfer window and are still going strong.

With Dean Henderson vowed to stay and challenge De Gea for the No.1 spot, there will be hardly any opportunities left for Romero. Considering the Argentine’s plight, United’s executive vice-chairman Woodward is reportedly open to selling him.
