Liverpool want Cristian Romero

Liverpool are interested in signing Cristian Romero from Atalanta in the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato. It has been reported that the former Premier League champions have come forward for the defender and are studying the situation of the youngster.

Atalanta are willing to sell, but the Italian club will not do so on the cheap, In fact, the report has claimed that the Serie A outfit want as much as €50 million in transfer fees for the 23-year-old. Romero spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Atalanta from Juventus and made 29 starts and two substitute appearances in Serie A and played seven times in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.

Romero is actually owned by Juventus, but Atalanta have the option to make the deal permanent for €16 million. It seems that the Italian club then plan to sell the youngster for a hefty profit.
