Cardiff City are supposedly interested in signing Millwall right-back Mahlon Romeo, according to the Portsmouth News.
Saturday 5th March 2022
The 26-year-old, who is on loan at Portsmouth from the Lions, has been one of Pompey's standout players this term, having played 31 times for the League One club.
Millwall will want a fee and thats where Morison could struggle to get Romeo.
Obviously Steve Morison will know Romeo from his time with him at Millwall, making the connection a fairly obvious one. The report adds that Cardiff even looked into the possibility of signing the player in January, however he had played for both Millwall and Portsmouth this season and would not be able to turn out for a third club in the same campaign.
Pompey boss Danny Cowley has already admitted it would be difficult for the south coast club to fund a move for Romeo, who has a contract at the Den until June 2024. One suspects Cardiff might have similar difficulties.
However it is certainly a position in which Cardiff will be looking to strengthen this summer. Cody Drameh will return to Leeds United, Perry Ng has been playing excellently as a centre-back and Tom Sang is seen as more of a midfielder now.
Romeo's own future at Millwall appears up in the air, too, with the player seemingly having felt he received a lack of support from the Lions hierarchy after he spoke out about what he perceived as a section of their fans 'spreading hatred' when they booed players taking the knee at the end of 2020.
That, in fact, prompted the Antigua and Barbuda international's loan move to Fratton Park in the first place.

Be good if we could actually get him as soon as this season is over, with Tan now saying he is backing Steve Morison, Morison will be able to get the players he wants

Given the reason he’s fallen out with the Millwall fans let’s hope he doesn’t read this forum !!

Piledriver, it was to do with Millwall fans booing the players taking the knee wasn’t it. I was reading this story on the Pompey local rag site and it was saying Morison obviously knows him well from Millwall and the Pompey comments were saying he’s really exciting but can’t cross the ball.
