Fabrizio Romano: My Biggest Story, Haaland Friendship & Phone Screen Time | It’s Called Soccer EP 49

It’s a brand-new episode of It’s Called Soccer, and this week we’re joined by the man who makes the transfer market tick — Fabrizio Romano ⚡️📱 The show kicks off with Fabrizio weighing in on the ultimate debate: UK vs. US football culture, before diving into his own journey — from growing up with the game, playing it, and even his obsession with FIFA. From there, we ask the big one: what’s the biggest risk Fabrizio has taken in his career? He also reveals how he actually does his job — do sources check in with him, or do players just text Fabrizio directly? Social media takes center stage too, with Fabrizio explaining how online chatter really shapes transfers… and why, if Twitter didn’t exist, Lucas Paquetá might’ve ended up at Aston Villa. We get into the day-to-day as well — from 19 hours of screen time to stories about changing his phone, plus his thoughts on competitiveness, rivalries, and what the future of journalism looks like in a world where he speaks four languages. And of course, it wouldn’t be It’s Called Soccer without some quickfire questions to round things off 🔥 Subscribe now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode. 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - UK v US 02:04 - Fabrizio's Background 05:55 - How Fabrizio Does His Job 10:04 - The Impact Of Social Media & Here We Go 13:40 - Fabrizio's Screen Time 15:50 - Competitiveness Of Journalism 20:01 - Fabrizio's Phone 22:10 - Fabrizio's Stories Broken 24:10 - Cole Palmer To Chelsea
