The well-known Italian sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano, has become a true VIP thanks to the football transfer market: here’s his incredible net worth.
When it comes to football in the summer, the transfer market is undoubtedly the main focus of news and fans’ dreams. July and August are the time for athletic preparations, the first matches, and, above all, player transfers. In recent years, this particular sector has seen a veritable communications boom: a business spilling over from newspapers to social networks, including all those web publications that often thrive on fame and views, especially during this time of year.
And so, amidst so much news and rumors, some more or less true, emerge the authoritative sources, the ones to follow for the right tips. Among them all, there is one of absolute prestige not only nationally but, indeed, especially internationally: Fabrizio Romano, a sports journalist born in Naples in 1993 who has conquered the globe, with a past as a well-known face also on Sky.
To understand the interest (including financial) generated by the transfer market, we cannot ignore the earnings of those who make a living from it: here, then, is how much Fabrizio Romano earns and the wealth behind his iconic "Here we go!".
"Here we go!" and more: here’s who Fabrizio Romano is
Fans of the genre will remember his tweets—today better called "posts on X"—complete with "Here we Go!" to seal a partnership between a player and his next club. But there’s so much more behind it.
Fabrizio Romano is now a key figure in the global football news landscape, so much so that Forbes even included him in the list of 30 most influential young people in Europe for two consecutive years, 2022 and 2023. In the same years, he won the prestigious Globe Soccer Award for best sports journalist.
In short, starting out in his native Naples and then graduating in communication sciences from the Catholic University of Milan, Romano has managed—in his young but already highly acclaimed career—to juggle a variety of collaborations: from Sky Sport to the Guardian, to becoming a well-known face on DAZN, today Fabrizio is a true brand.
Fabrizio Romano’s community
Fabrizio Romano, as mentioned, is now a true brand, so much so that he boasts incredible numbers across all platforms.
Counting the four main social networks (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X), Romano has over 115 million followers. A figure unattainable for the world of ordinary journalism. On Instagram alone, he exceeds 40 million unique users.
And then there are podcasts, live broadcasts on YouTube, and much more. This confirms Romano’s global reach, aided by the fact that he speaks fluent English, Spanish, and Portuguese, in addition, of course, to his native Italian.
In short, Romano is the symbol of the transfer market becoming journalism and of the popularity of the movement itself, which has somehow made him the king of communicators. Even when it comes to profits.
Fabrizio Romano’s Net Worth: Here’s How Much He Earns
Fabrizio Romano’s net worth, according to the latest data, could make even some of the players he mentions in his posts pale in comparison, often the subject of lavish transfers. And this isn’t an exaggeration, especially given his current empire.
In 2023, for example, Fabrizio Romano’s net worth was estimated by Wtfoot at approximately $2.1 million (approximately €1.93 million). This figure, while significant in itself, still represented the early stages of the true economic boom associated with his rise as an influential figure in the football transfer market.
In fact, his average annual income has since soared even higher.
According to Hafi, Romano’s total earnings for 2024 are estimated to be between $3.5 million and $4.9 million, or between €3.22 million and €4.51 million. This monstrous calculation stems from his diversified revenue streams: TV (Sky Sports), journalism (The Guardian, CBS Sports), his popular YouTube channel, the podcast "Here We Go" with Francesco Porzio, as well as partnerships with influential brands such as EA, OPTA, and Sorare.
But that’s not all. Hafi also reports that in the first quarter of 2025, Romano earned £336,000 in a single month (approximately €393,000). If we were to simply add these figures for a constant annual projection, this would further confirm the previously high estimates, so much so that the income trend would be revised upwards.
In short, Fabrizio Romano—both in terms of skill and connections—is undoubtedly the best of the best when it comes to the transfer market. And the financial numbers also confirm this.
