Sergio Romero’s agent has arrived in England to try and push through the goalkeeper’s transfer to Liverpool, according to reports.

The Reds agreed a £1.6million fee with Italian club Sampdoria for Romero two weeks ago, but the transfer has stalled because of his huge wage demands.

Russian side Spartak Moscow have since shown an interest, but Liverpool remain keen, and his agent Mino Raiola has now touched down to try and thrash out an agreement.

According to reports in Italy, Sampdoria are so desperate to get rid of the player they may now accept a lower price in order to move him on.




Raiola has a great relationship with Liverpool, having recently helped them sign another one of his clients, Mario Balotelli.

Liverpool want a new goalie to rival Simon Mignolet, and have been holding negotiations with Reading’s Alex McCarthy, but Romero remains their preferred choice.
