According to reports in Italy and France, teenage sensation Robinio Vaz will fly in for his Roma medical tomorrow in a deal worth €25m with Olympique Marseille.
The striker will celebrate his 19th birthday next month and it looks as if he will do that wearing the Giallorossi jersey.
Footmercato, Il Tempo, Fabrizio Romano and more are all confident the two clubs have shaken hands on an agreement worth a total of €20m plus €5m in add-ons.
It is expected to be a loan with option to buy, becoming an obligation if fairly easy to achieve targets are met.
Sky Sport Italia claim Roma director Ricky Massara went to Paris to speak directly with the player and his family.
Robinio Vaz can then sign a four-and-a-half-year contract, knowing anything will be a vast improvement on his current salary at Olympique Marseille.
He had also posted a goodbye message to the fans on Instagram, only to delete it.
The teenager already has four goals and two assists in 14 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
He also represented France at various youth levels including Under-20 after coming up through the Sochaux academy.
Marseille paid just €200,000 to buy him in August 2024.
