Popular Italian sports journalist and football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has revealed how he gets fresh information about players’ transfer business in football.
According to him, he texts some players while some others also send direct messages to him about their next step in the transfer market.
“Sometimes to ask information, or sometimes they tell me, Can you say something about me because I want to leave the club,” he shared.
Romano made this revelation via Youtube while chatting with former English footballers, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, on English football transfer deadline day, September 1.
He, however, posted a retweet of the video chat on his handle on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, September 2, with the caption, ‘It was a real pleasure to spend 20 mins with @GaryLineker, @alanshearer and @MicahRichards, legends of the game. Thank you .’
In the video, the popular journalist said, ” There are a couple of scoops for me. The favourite one remains Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United because it changed my life.
Romano mentioned that, while he was playing a 5-a-side football game with his friends, he went to check his phone and then received a message that Zinedine Zidane, former Real Madrid manager, wanted to leave the club.
“To break the story was something incredible,” he said.
