Ex-Man Utd star Sergio Romero set to join Italian minnows Venezia on free transfer after promotion to Serie A
[ad_1]
FORMER Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero is set to finally join a new club, with a move to Venice in their ‘final stages’.
The Argentine hasn’t played since the 2019-20 season, having been eliminated by the Red Devils last year.

Romero, 34, had played the role of David de Gea’s reliable assistant since 2015 – but dropped down the hierarchy after Dean Henderson returned from Sheffield United.
Not having been included in Man United’s 23-man squad, Romero was not even in the running to play.
But the Red Devils didn’t agree to a move despite Everton’s interest – leaving the experienced keeper upset.
Since his final exit in June, Romero has been linked with Roma, Granada and even Chelsea.
But according to Fabrice Romano, he decided to move to Italy.
The transfer expert claims Romero will join newly promoted Venezia.

He says the negotiations are in their “final stage” – and that they have repelled Spezia’s interest.
Romero could replace current Venezia No.1 and former Brighton, Bristol City and Stoke stopper Niki Maenpaa between the sticks.
In total, he made 61 appearances in total for Man United, including in the victorious 2017 Europa League final.
Romero won 96 caps for his country but missed out on Lionel Messi and Co winning the Copa America having not been called up since 2018.
