Fabrizio Romano on Bet It Drives: how Romano works

Fabrizio Romano made his name by breaking big transfer news ahead of most of his colleagues. Season 5 of Bet It Drives began, and in the first episode one of football's best-known journalists, Romano, was the guest.

In a conversation with Yevhen Krazhan, CSO of GR8_TECH and the programme's host, Romano explained the process behind the phrase "Here we go" during a trip to Lisbon. Sources, relationships and the instincts that guide his reporting were among the main topics of the discussion.

On the busiest days of a transfer window, Romano is reported to post more than 100 times a day across several platforms. Despite that volume, Romano says he has repeatedly refused to put his transfer news behind a subscription and wants his information to remain open to everyone.

Romano compares the transfer market to a puzzle. In his view, the pieces have to be placed in the right order at the right time. Krazhan says that the ability to balance speed, trust and judgement is what makes Romano a fitting guest to open the new season.

The programme features leaders of the iGaming world discussing the sector's current problems and future opportunities. Guests face tough questions, while the conversations are broken up by quick games and lighter moments.
