Romero’s current contract at Manchester United runs through until 2021 and has an option to be extended for another year.
He is believed to earn around £70,000-a-week on that deal and is widely considered to be one of the best back-up goalkeepers in England.
When he put pen-to-paper on his current contract in 2017, it was amid intense speculation over the future of first-choice goalkeeper David De Gea, but the Spaniard penned a new contract himself back in September.
