The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported on Twitter that Sunderland have made a bid new bid for PSG youngster Michut.
The Championship club in England have offered €3 million (£2.54 million) plus add-ons for the France Under-19 international.
PSG have turned it down, according to Romano.

Sunderland bid for Celtic target Edouard Michut
Could a transfer happen?
In our view, Sunderland could still be able to sign Edouard Michut from Paris Saint-Germain ahead of Celtic in the summer transfer window.
That the Black Cats have made a bid suggests that they are more determined than the Hoops to bring in the 19-year-old French midfielder this summer.
Sunderland could now make a new offer for Michut, and it will be interesting to see what PSG do, if indeed they receive another bid from Sunderland.
Michut made five substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for PSG last season, and played once in the league for the French giants in 2020-21.
