A day in the life of the football transfer expert

Fabrizio Romano will most likely be the busiest man in football once again when the January transfer window opens in a few days’ time.

Known for his iconic catchphrase ‘Here we go!’, the highly-respected journalist has proved to be one of the most reliable and trustworthy sources providing scoops on some of the biggest transfer rumours over the years.

Born and raised in Italy, Romano, 29, covers news from all of the top divisions across Europe, including – but not limited to – the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, and the Premier League, as well as Serie A.

But how does he manage to do what he does?

Back in 2019, Bleacher Report released a video where they followed him around for a day during the summer transfer window, providing fans with never-before-seen footage.

The documentary was shared on YouTube, where it has had more than two million views

It really does make for a fascinating viewing.

How did Fabrizio Romano come up with ‘Here we go!’?

Speaking in 2019, Romano admitted that even he can’t remember exactly how he came up with his famous phrase.

“I did not plan for ‘here we go!’ to become a brand,” he told Bleacher Report. “I was not planning anything!

“To be honest, I cannot even remember clearly when it started, but it was a deal about Manchester United, maybe Paul Pogba, and it had been going on for a couple of months. People kept asking me for updates, and when the deal was finally in place I just said, ‘here we go!’

“People liked it and started to ask me about other transfer rumours—they wanted another ‘here we go!’ about their club.

“I feel excited when I get a big story. For me, it’s like scoring an important goal in a big match. I remember when Bruno Fernandes joined Manchester United; that was a good one for me. When you put in so much on one story, and I get the news it has finally happened, I feel excited.

“People ask me which team I support, but it is not about that. I am excited because of the way the signing will make people feel.”
