Romano hits back at Sky Germany: Check your own fake news before commenting on me

Football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has responded to criticism from Sky Germany reporter Patrick Plettenberg, who claimed Romano's report on Ousmane Diomande's transfer was wrong. Romano defended his reporting, asserting that Diomande will join Real Madrid, comparing it to Jurgen Klopp's move to Germany. He accused Sky Germany of spreading fake news about Manchester City offering €100 million for Diomande, noting that City had withdrawn days ago and Real Madrid had already initiated the transfer push. Romano mocked Sky Germany's inability to tag him properly and urged them to verify their own reports before criticizing him. The article includes links to related stories: Sky Germany's exclusive on City's verbal offer, Romano's 'Here We Go' confirmation of Diomande to Real Madrid for over €100 million, and Sky Germany's claim that no agreement exists yet between Leipzig and Real Madrid.
