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.
