My name is Fabrizio Romano. Born in Naples in 1993, I’m an international soccer journalist specializing in the transfer market.
You probably know me for my motto, “Here we go!”, which I use to announce when a transfer is officially a done deal.
About Fabrizio Romano
After graduating from Milan’s Università Cattolica, I kicked off my media career at Sky Sport, spending years there as a transfer market expert.
Since then, I’ve collaborated with The Guardian and DAZN, and recently, I was named Sports Journalist of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards.
Social media is a huge part of what I do, helping me reach millions of people daily. That’s why my profiles are followed by fans all over the globe and have become the ultimate benchmark for international soccer.

The transfer market never stops, not even during the World Cup. Negotiations keep moving, new ideas emerge, and clubs are doing everything they can to get ahead of the competition. On the field, it's all about the World Cup, but off it, the transfer market is buzzing. Especially in Italy.
The World Cup and the transfer market have always been inseparably linked, opening up a thousand possibilities both in Italy and around the world. A single match, a single performance, a single moment can change the course of a negotiation or spark an entirely new idea.
The transfer market and the World Cup share a historic, chaotic bond. The moment the tournament kicks off, new storylines explode, and entirely new transfer strategies come to life. Some clubs sprint to close deals early to prevent rivals from hijacking their top targets, while others prefer to wait it out, gambling on the tournament’s inevitable highs and lows to shift their leverage at the negotiating table.
We're barely into the summer soccer transfer window, but Italian clubs already know who they want for the new season. Most of the targets are foreign, the groundwork is already laid, and it's now just a question of how the details fall into place.
The transfer market never really rests… this week, all the buzz is around the coaches.
