# Everton: Fans react to transfer news on Manchester United ace Sergio Romero

**Loads of Everton fans have been reacting to a transfer revelation involving Manchester United ace Sergio Romero.**

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/manchester-united-transfer-romero-everton/c6U2RzskXgyM?source=rss), the Argentina international was close to a loan move to the Merseyside club on transfer deadline day.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team apparently held out for a transfer fee of £8 million instead, and a deal never materialised.

The Toffees reportedly offered to cover the 33-year old’s entire £100,000-a-week wages and include an extra £2 million loan fee, but Romero was not allowed to leave the Red Devils on a temporary basis.

Indeed, the goalkeeper may well have been a good addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s side, as he kept a rather impressive 12 clean sheets in just 17 games for the Old Trafford faithful in all competitions in the 2019/20 season, coupled with the concession of only five goals, as per [Transfermarkt.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-romero/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/30690/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)

### Everton fan reaction to Romero revelation

These members of the Goodison Park faithful on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1315599993261248514) would have liked to see Romero move to the Blues, as he may have provided some decent competition for Jordan Pickford with his clean-sheet record:

> He’d have been an absolute cracking signing – such a shame. He’d have kept Pickford on his toes, not sure this one we got will. But we must have faith in Carlo (and Jordan)!

> That’s a real shame for both us and Sergio Romero. The lad would have been genuine competition for Jordan Pickford’s spot.
