# Everton: Toffees have made Sergio Romero offer

**Goalkeeper Sergio Romero is considering a contract offer from Everton, according to a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-offer-big-money-romero-deal-after-bust-up-behind-the-scenes/).**

### The lowdown

Romero is to leave Manchester United after being named on the Red Devils’ [released list](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104), six years on from his arrival.

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-offer-big-money-romero-deal-after-bust-up-behind-the-scenes/) claim the veteran Argentine fell out with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season after being denied a move away in search of more playing time.

Predominantly a back-up option, Romero only made [seven Premier League appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-romero/profil/spieler/30690) during his time at Old Trafford.

Everton’s pursuit of the 34-year-old may indicate that Robin Olsen will not be joining permanently.

Olsen provided cover and competition for the Blues’ no. 1 Jordan Pickford during his season-long loan from AS Roma.

### The latest

Everton have tabled what’s described as a ‘lucrative contract’ as they look to secure a long-term target, claims [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-offer-big-money-romero-deal-after-bust-up-behind-the-scenes/)‘s Toffees source.

They unsuccessfully pursued a loan move for Romero last summer, with United reluctant to strengthen a possible rival.

But it’s not guaranteed that the Blues will get their man this time either amid ‘competing interest from top European clubs’.

### The verdict

Back-up goalkeepers don’t get much better than Romero, who consistently delivered when called upon by United, being hailed by [fans](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-united-fans-praise-sergio-romero-after-performance-away-to-partizan-belgrade/) and teammates alike – Eric Bailly called the shot-stopped an ‘[immense talent](https://ronaldo.com/football-news/bailly-is-full-of-praise-for-sergio-romero/)‘.

So whilst this would be really strong business from Everton, it’d be a difficult move to understand from the player’s perspective.

If he was frustrated to be confined to a squad role at United, why would he accept the same at Everton?

Jordan Pickford’s excellent form in 2021 has surely made him the undisputed no. 1 at Goodison Park, and it feels unlikely Romero would bump him off the top of the pecking order.

Perhaps the explanation is that Romero doesn’t mind the lifestyle of a no. 2, earning his keep without being placed under significant pressure, but just wants a change of scenery from Old Trafford.
