Fabrizio Romano appears in 4 of the audited transfer rumours and is an independent origin of the reporting in 2, demonstrably the first to report it in 1. Of the 3 cases that have since been settled, what it reported matched the outcome in 2 (67%; the plausible range is 21-94%).
These figures are estimated by an automated count of the rumours we audited, not a judgement of Fabrizio Romano, and they can contain mistakes. If something here is wrong, tell us on the contact page with the address of this page and we will check it against the sources; if the figure cannot be backed up it is corrected or removed.

Its tier (Tier 1 · Primary): First-hand reporting from established reporters and official club, league or federation channels. Full rules: methodology.
