Romero has been with Sampdoria in Italy since 2011, but spend last season on loan at AS Monaco, making just three league appearance. Despite being out of favour at club level, he has continued to impress an an international level.
Liverpool are desperate for a new number one, having dropped Simon Mignolet earlier this month in favour of Brad Jones. However, the Australian has also struggled to impress, and the Reds are desperate for a new signing in the January window.
