# Everton: Fans react to renewed Sergio Romero transfer links

**Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero was a reported target for Everton in the summer transfer window.**

The Blues pursued a loan move for the Argentine on deadline day but United held out for a loan fee of £8m and the deal was scuppered (via [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/manchester-united-transfer-romero-everton/c6U2RzskXgyM)).

Everton subsequently turned their attentions to Roma’s Robin Olsen, who arrived as competition for Jordan Pickford.

### Romero still has sights set on working with Ancelotti

However, this proposed transfer may not be dead in the water. According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9505627/Lee-Grant-upset-Manchester-United-make-U-turn-offer-new-contract.html), Romero remains hopeful of a move to Goodison Park come the end of the season.

Significantly, the 34-year-old will be [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-romero/profil/spieler/30690) by then, meaning that United can no longer stand in his way.

The [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9505627/Lee-Grant-upset-Manchester-United-make-U-turn-offer-new-contract.html) also claimed that there is interest from Romero’s homeland, with Boca Juniors and River Plate potentially readying competing offers.

Fan feed The Toffee Blues [relayed](https://twitter.com/EvertonNewsFeed/status/1386732760715431936) the news, and there was mixed reaction from Everton supporters. Some no longer saw the sense in the move, while others were still keen on it.
