Atalanta defender Cristian Romero is of interest to both Liverpool and Manchester United with the onset of the much-anticipated transfer window, according to reports from Sky Italia.
The reports claim that Jurgen Klopp’s side have made initial contact with the Serie A giants over signing the highly-rated central defender this summer despite Klopp having already bolstered his backline.
Ibrahima Konate became the first arrival at Anfield for the summer with the Frenchman signing for the Merseysiders in a £36 million worth transfer from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.
Liverpool’s candidature amongst the clubs wanting to sign the 23-year-old Romero is bound to be tested by their arch-rivals Manchester United who are also on the lookout for a new centre-back after a disappointing finish to their otherwise impressive campaign last time around.
Romero will be a key player to watch out for both interested parties heading into the upcoming Copa America where he will be expected to play a crucial role for the Lionel Messi-led Argentina side who will be seeking continental glory.
