MOSCOW, RUSSIA – OCTOBER 28: People wearing medieval armour components take part in a friendly fight event held in a basketball court to keep the medieval street fights alive in Russian capital Moscow on October 28, 2024. The ‘Tushino maneuvers,’ or friendship fights between clubs, were created to preserve the traditional aspects of medieval street battles and pass them on to younger generations.

They are good at talking about others (not even that good, they…— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 26, 2026don’t worry, Diomande goes to Real Madrid as Klopp went to Germany. Ask about the fake news yesterday on Man City bidding €100m for Diomande when they’ve been out for days, and when Madrid were already advancing. They are good at talking about others (not even that good, they can’t even tag me 🤣) but… check your own news first, then talk about me. 🤗Well, that lit Plettenberg’s fuse and he thumbed out a statement that was a complete take down of Romano: Okay, wow. By accusing us of “fake news” with „Man City bidding“ (never reported) you’ve unfortunately crossed a line.I never wanted to bring this up, but your Klopp report was simply ridiculous and disrespectful to every journalist who actually does proper reporting.

One day after the DFB had already named him in its official statement, you posted a “here we go”. Posting a signing soon and it’s almost one week later. I honestly thought you’d have the decency not to do that.Anyone could have posted
