Fabrizio Romano’s Transfer Influence: How the ‘Here We Go’ King Helped Shape Summer 2025 Moves

Fabrizio Romano’s impact on football transfers goes beyond breaking news—some deals feel like they happen because he simply willed them into existence. From Jonathan David finally joining Juventus to Joao Pedro landing at Chelsea, here’s how the internet’s most powerful transfer insider played a surprising role in shaping the market.

From Rumours to Reality: Fabrizio Romano’s Role in Manifesting Major Transfers

Whether you admire his hustle or poke fun at his omnipresence, there’s no denying Fabrizio Romano’s influence on the transfer market. With millions glued to his every post, his scoops often feel more like self-fulfilling prophecies than mere reports.

This summer, several of Romano’s long-followed “favorites” finally sealed their big moves. Let’s explore how the Here We Go specialist seemingly manifested some of the 2025 transfer window’s biggest headlines.

🔁 Jonathan David – Lille to Juventus (Free Transfer)

For years, Romano couldn’t stop talking about Jonathan David. Every window brought fresh links to the Premier League. Yet, the Canadian striker skipped England altogether and landed at Juventus—a European powerhouse that snatched him up for free following his Lille contract expiry.

Romano was there through it all, reporting every whisper, and eventually calling the final “Here we go” like a prophecy fulfilled.

🔁 Milos Kerkez – Bournemouth to Liverpool

Romano introduced most fans to Milos Kerkez back in 2023 when Benfica showed interest. After a breakout season at Bournemouth, Kerkez became a Romano regular—especially when Liverpool and Manchester United circled.

While United went for Patrick Dorgu, Liverpool struck the deal. From early hype to final signature, this was a classic Romano slow burn turned blockbuster.

🔁 Joao Pedro – Brighton to Chelsea

From a failed “Here we go” to Newcastle, to eventually landing at Chelsea, Joao Pedro’s transfer journey has been chaotic. But Romano remained glued to the Brazilian forward’s career like a loyal follower.

Linked with half of Europe over multiple windows, Pedro finally settled at Stamford Bridge—while Romano’s timeline evolved from transfer teasers to full-circle closure.

🔁 Aurélien Tchouaméni – Monaco to Real Madrid

Back in 2022, Romano was relentless in his coverage of Aurélien Tchouaméni. Despite interest from Liverpool, PSG, and others, Romano made it abundantly clear: “He only wants Madrid.”

Every update—whether about Klopp’s call or PSG’s offer—ended with that same reminder. Eventually, Real Madrid sealed the deal, just as Romano had forecasted 147 times.

🔁 Jeremie Frimpong – Leverkusen to Liverpool

Romano joined the Frimpong hype train late but made up for lost time. From revealing his £34m release clause to repeatedly teasing interest from United, Bayern, and Barcelona, the updates kept fans guessing.

Then, Liverpool moved with trademark speed. Four days after Romano flagged their interest, they closed the deal—“Here we go,” obviously.

🔁 Casemiro – Real Madrid to Manchester United

United wanted Frenkie de Jong. They got Casemiro. And Romano was all over it the second the Brazilian became an option.

The move looked like a stroke of genius for a season—and for once, United fans could say Romano helped deliver something that worked. Briefly.

🔁 Raphinha – Leeds to Barcelona

Few sagas had more twists than Raphinha to Barcelona. Despite Chelsea agreeing a fee with Leeds, Romano maintained that Barca was always the player’s dream—and that they’d “try until the end.”

Spoiler: they did. Barca somehow scraped the cash together and Romano’s timeline turned out to be spot-on—again.

🔁 Mykhaylo Mudryk – Shakhtar Donetsk to Chelsea

January 2023’s most chaotic transfer. Mudryk wanted Arsenal. Arsenal wanted Mudryk. But Chelsea brought cash, and that was enough.

Romano, deep in the trenches of every twist, seemed plugged directly into the boardroom. Arsenal fans still haven’t forgiven him.

🔁 Andre Onana – Free Agent to Inter (Then to United)

When Onana was suspended, Romano boldly predicted a future at Inter. He was right—again. Inter got their man, and a year later, United followed suit.

Romano’s patience paid off. Unfortunately for United, the signing hasn’t—yet.

In the age of digital football, Fabrizio Romano isn’t just reporting on transfers—he’s influencing them. Whether it’s strategic leaks or his sheer reach, some moves feel like they were scripted on his feed first.

Love him or troll him, one thing’s for sure: If Romano says “Here we go,” you’d better believe it.
