Football madman, networker, tracker, self-made millionaire, and only 30 years old: Fabrizio Romano.
Felix Bingessersports reporter

The transfer carousel in international football moves at breakneck speed. A 30-year-old Italian sits on the front horse. His name comes up every day in every conceivable media these days. Fabrizio Romano. Here, there, everywhere. It seems that the world’s most famous “transfer expert” has cloned himself a hundred times.

Because in a few years this man has become the center of the football world. Everyone hangs on his every word as he fuels the latest transfer rumors with around 100 social media posts a day and keeps the football world on its toes. An incredible 46.2 million people follow him on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and Tiktok. It seems Romano has bugged every conference room in every European club.

More reliable than a politician

When the influential German newspaper Bild received information that Bavaria was firing Julian Nagelsmann, the editors did not believe the heat. They wait to release the explosive report until Romano confirms the rumor two hours later. Neither the club nor the player has confirmed the transfer of captain Granit Xhaka. “Go!” Romano writes. And mostly it’s true. His tweets are now more reliable and trustworthy than the speeches of most politicians.

Who is this person who says he talks on the phone 15 hours a day? Who is so attached to their smartphone that every teenager turns green with envy? And who has the New York Times already written a big portrait about?

Romano from Naples. As a teenager, he closely followed football around the world. At the age of 17, he started writing articles about football for Italian portals. He makes contact with the agent of the Italian striker Mauro Icardi. And he announces his move to Sampdoria Genoa exclusively. Since then, the self-made millionaire has spun his web like a spider across Europe. He says he never got paid for it. If you have 46 million subscribers, you don’t have to worry about money. He is also a freelance writer for the English Guardian, Sky Italia and the American broadcaster CBS.

He now lives in Milan. In a city where a lot of bargains are arranged in chic restaurants. He became an authority, an influential person in world football. Romano comes first.

Summer holidays are not for him.

Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG? Is Jann Sommer going to VfB Stuttgart? Who will buy Basel’s shooting star Zeki Amdouni? A lot will happen in the next few days and weeks. Summer vacation is out of the question for Romano. Everyone is waiting for answers to the following questions. There is a high probability that the relevant confirmations will be written in Milan. “Like this!”
