Fabrizio Romano Gives A Transfer Update On Fabrizio Romano

Fabrizio Romano has spent more than a decade telling football supporters where players are going next.

He has now provided an update on where Fabrizio Romano might be going next.

The transfer journalist hinted at a significant change to the way he works after reflecting on the extraordinary response to his exclusive report that Ronald Araújo was joining Liverpool on loan from Barcelona.

Romano said the announcement generated 49 million views, two million likes, 47,000 comments and more than two million sends, numbers he described as another example of the impact an unexpected transfer can have online.

It was while celebrating the success of the model that Romano suggested he might soon change it.

Writing on LinkedIn, he said he was probably not going to continue working in the transfer market in the same way for much longer, adding that it was time to change his approach and perspective. He promised to explain more once the summer window had closed.

That is not quite the same as announcing his retirement.

Romano did not say he was leaving football journalism, abandoning transfer reporting or permanently retiring “Here We Go”. The important part of his message was that he may no longer continue as he is doing now, leaving open everything from a change in workload to a different way of covering the market.

For now, his existing operation appears to be continuing normally. Romano finished the same post by turning his attention back towards breaking transfers, writing: “Onto the next one!”

The full explanation will apparently arrive after the window closes.

Until then, the journalist who has built a career providing updates on uncertain football futures has left supporters with one more uncertain football future to follow.

His own.
