Liverpool Rumour Roundup: Reds Face Competition From Manchester United For Goalkeeper, Mario Balotelli Wants To Take Penalties And Emotional Farewell

Interest grows in Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero

With Pepe Reina having left for Bayern Munich and doubts over the capabilities of Brad Jones, backup for Simon Mignolet is needed between the sticks.

That is what has drawn the Merseyside club to Romero, who is also represented by the same agent as new signing Mario Balotelli – Mino Raiola.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Raiola is overseeing negotiations and a deal is expected to be completed before the transfer window closes on Monday.
