Man Utd star Sergio Romero on Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa's transfer wishlist

Leeds are set to battle it out with Everton for Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero this summer.

The Argentine No 1 is on the shortlist of his compatriot Marcelo Bielsa, who has just guided the Whites back to the top flight.

Leeds completed the permanent signing of Illan Meslier this week from Lorient but are still in the market for a goalkeeper.

Kiko Casilla, who remains one of the club's top earners, was dropped for the promotion run in and faces an uncertain future.

Everton are ready to give Leeds competition for Romero as they seek someone to put the pressure on Jordan Pickford, reports ESPN.

But the United No 2 is almost certainly set to leave Old Trafford as he seeks more regular game time.

Romero's current deal runs out next summer although the Red Devils have an option of a further year.

But the 33-year-old remains behind David de Gea in the pecking order despite the Spaniard's recent struggles.

And he could yet face further competition from Dean Henderson should the Englishman return to Manchester.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has some huge calls to make regarding his No 1 but his options may be reduced should Romero head for pastures new.

Despite having his opportunities restricted the former Monaco man has a hugely impressive record since arriving in 2015.

He has kept 38 clean sheets in 59 games but has largely been used in cup competitions.

Yet he was overlooked for last weekend's FA Cup semi-final with De Gea stepping in before making several howlers as Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners.
