The transfer window may have just shut, but Jose Mourinho still has player departures on his mind with second choice goalkeeper Sergio Romero rumoured to be on his way out of Old Trafford in the summer.

 

According to reports in ​the Sun, Romero's representatives will fly to Manchester in two weeks to discuss the possibility of the Argentinian moving at the end of the season.

Romero was reportedly the subject of bids from three separate sides in the January transfer window, including an offer from his homeland - with Boca Juniors actively perusing the 29-year-old.

 

As a result Romero seems to have his heart set on returning to South America and may try and force his way out of Old Trafford this summer.

 

A United source said: “Sergio’s agents are flying over soon to discuss him being allowed to leave in the summer.

“He has a number of offers but Boca are pushing his camp for an answer or they will go after another target.

 

“He is happy here, but the lure of playing back in his home country and regular time on the pitch is tempting.

 

"It's a difficult situation when you're the understudy to one of the best goalkeepers in the world in David de Gea."

Romero moved to United in 2015 from Sampdoria yet has only made six appearances this season - all of which were in cup competitions.

 

Argentina's first choice keeper also has represented AZ Alkmaar and Monaco in Europe.

 

Should Romero get his wish and leave the Premier League, it is unclear whether Mourinho would sign a replacement number two, or show faith with youngster Sam Johnstone, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa for the remainder of the season.
