One report from TUDN reporter Daniel Nohra (and later corroborated by Mario Alberto Sanchez) says that D.C. United may be close to signing Venezuelan goalkeeper Rafael Romo to a contract. Nohra says that a deal is close, while Sanchez says a deal is done. The 32-year-old is with Belgium side OH Leuven and would join the Black-and-Red after the season has completed next week against Gent, and has already begun saying goodbye to fans via his Instagram account.
Romo has appeared in 247 games (starting 244) with clubs like Udinese, Mineros de Guayana in Venezuela and was even loaned to Watford at one point, but did not make an appearance with the latter.
