Sam Luckhurst: Manchester United could release Sergio Romero on one condition

According to Sam Luckhurst of Manchester Evening News, Manchester United could release Sergio Romero if he fails to get any offers from the MLS.

Although the English transfer window has closed, the MLS window only opens on February 10. Romero was linked with a move to David Beckham’s Inter Miami and it remains to be seen if they will make a move to land him.

The player has fallen out of favour and is currently training in Buenos Aires ahead of the Copa America scheduled to take place next summer. (h/t MEN)

A brilliant back-up keeper, Romero has fallen down the pecking order after Dean Henderson returned to the club last summer. With his future at the club non-existant, an exit is only a matter of time.

With his contract up in the summer, United will be best-served parting ways with the Argentine star now. However, they appear to be willing to wait and see if there is any interest from the United States.

If there is no such offer forthcoming, it makes little sense for United to retain the wages of a player who is not a part of their plans. At the very least, the wage bill can be reduced to an extent.

End of the road

Romero has made it no secret that he is keen to quit Old Trafford in search of regular football. His dreams of making the Copa America could be far from guaranteed if he continues to be denied first-team action.

The 33-year-old’s last club appearance came during last season’s Europa League quarter-final clash against FC Copenhagen in August 2020.
