On Monday, reports emerged in Italy that Inter Milan were closing in on the signing of Manchester United’s Sergio Romero as a backup to their current goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.
The Argentina international has been second-string at Old Trafford ever since he was signed by Louis Van Gaal, appearing mostly in the Europa League this season under José Mourinho.
Mediaset Premium were the ones getting the ball rolling by claiming Romero had bought a house in Milan, while TMW said a two-year deal was on the table for the 30-year-old.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport don’t think that’s the case, with the Italian newspaper reporting on Tuesday that Inter Milan prefer Torino’s Daniele Padelli for the role.
The 31-year-old Italian has spent the vast majority of the season on the bench watching Joe Hart, making only four appearances in all competitions.
With a contract running out in 2017, he would also be a free option for the Serie A side, while Sergio Romero would not.
Let’s not jump the gun just yet.
