Arriving in the Eternal City last winter with the status of great hope and for a check for more than €25 million, former OM striker Robinio Vaz racked up 14 appearances for AS Roma and celebrated his first selection with the France U20 team. But facing competition in the Italian capital, the young 19-year-old striker is looking to accumulate playing time. According to information from The Athleticpromoted to the Premier League Hull City, which has already spent nearly €90 million since the market opened and which has just formalized the arrival of Mohamed Ali Cho, has taken the lead.
The Tigers have found very advanced common ground with La Louve for a paying loan of €2 million, accompanied by a purchase option set at €30 million. Initially reluctant to the idea of a temporary departure, the former Marseillais finally came to terms with this idea and gave the green light to study an exit.
Approaches are pouring in for Robinio Vaz
While the operation seemed to be on good track for the British team, the matter could move into a new dimension. According to our information, Hull City’s concrete offensive has awakened the interest of several European clubs. Totally open to the idea of lending their jewel for the season, the Roman leaders, who want to recover their initial investment in the event of a future sale, have seen new concrete requests coming from Ligue 1 (including Lorient which has made inquiries), the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie (PSV Eindhoven is very interested).
Aware that his rating is at the highest and that he has several options, Robinio Vaz has not yet said yes to the English club. Before deciding, the native of the Paris region would like to listen to all the sporting projects that have just been sent to him. His top priority remains guaranteed playing time and the trust placed in him by the future coach. The battle is now raging across the four corners of the continent to snatch the former Marseille talent.
