Roma nearing deal to sign Marseille’s Robinio Vaz | OneFootball

Heralded as the next big thing at Olympique de Marseille, Robinio Vaz (18) is already set to depart, according to a report from Foot Mercato. 

Vaz has made a breakthrough into the first team at his formative club this season, playing 19 games in all competitions and scoring four goals. However, there has been a standoff in contract renewal talks at OM.

OM forward agrees to Roma move

The France youth international’s demands have not been aligned with what the club have been willing to offer and so the door has been opened to a departure this month. Another academy product, Darryl Bakola, finds himself in a similar position, as per a report from L’Équipe.

Foot Mercato understands that OM and AS Roma are nearing an agreement over a transfer for Vaz, worth around €25m, including bonuses. The publication adds that the centre-forward has already agreed to join the Serie A giants.
