Man Utd: Fabrizio Romano Reveals Verdict on ‘Advanced’ Transfer as Chelsea ‘Respond’ – “I’d Be Very Surprised”
Fabrizio Romano has delivered his insight into the latest Manchester United transfer saga, revealing that despite reports of an “advanced” deal, things may not be as close as some sources claim. The transfer expert suggested that while United remain active in the market, fans should be cautious about believing every headline — especially with Chelsea reportedly monitoring the same player.
According to Romano, there has been ongoing speculation linking Manchester United with a high-profile Premier League target, but negotiations have yet to reach a decisive stage. He clarified that, contrary to some claims, no official bid has been made and that “talks remain exploratory rather than concrete.”
“I’d be very surprised if this deal happens in the way it’s being reported,” Romano stated, adding that United are still assessing their transfer priorities before making any major move.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are said to have ‘responded’ to United’s interest by keeping tabs on the player’s situation, though their focus remains on strengthening other key areas. Sources close to Stamford Bridge insist the Blues are not looking to enter a bidding war unless the deal aligns with their current recruitment plan.
As the transfer window progresses, both Premier League giants are expected to continue fine-tuning their squads, with United in particular under pressure to deliver new signings that fit Erik ten Hag’s long-term vision.
Fans are now waiting to see whether this rumored deal will gain real momentum or fade as yet another summer headline. Romano’s verdict, however, suggests that patience — not excitement — might be the right approach for now.
