Roma are closing on 19-year-old Robinio Vaz in a €25m deal from Marseille. Betting angle: Vaz’s arrival boosts Roma’s attacking depth—punters might back Roma to score 2+ goals in upcoming matches and consider Vaz for anytime scorer or first-half goal markets as he integrates quickly.
Roma set to complete Robinio Vaz transfer for €25m
Reports indicate Roma will bring 19-year-old striker Robinio Vaz in for a medical tomorrow as part of a deal worth €25m. The teenager is expected to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract and could make his move official around his 19th birthday next month, swapping Marseille for the Giallorossi shirt.
Deal structure: loan with buy option turning into obligation
Sources outline a structured agreement: an initial loan with an option to buy, which becomes an obligation if relatively straightforward performance targets are met. The total package is understood to be €20m plus up to €5m in add-ons, reflecting Roma’s cautious approach to integrating a young talent.
How the transfer was secured
Roma reportedly engaged directly with the player and his family during talks, moving quickly to finalize personal terms. Vaz had posted a farewell message to Marseille’s supporters on social media but later deleted it, suggesting the move was imminent.
Player profile and recent form
Vaz has four goals and two assists in 14 Ligue 1 appearances this season. A product of the Sochaux academy, he represented France at youth levels, including under-20s. Marseille initially purchased him for only €200,000 in August 2024, making this switch a rapid rise in market value.
What this means on the pitch
Roma add a young, versatile forward who can stretch defences and provide goal threat off the bench or in the starting XI. His arrival increases competition up front and gives tactical flexibility for domestic and European fixtures.
Betting implications for punters
Vaz’s signing should push Roma’s attacking odds slightly shorter. Punters may find value in backing Roma to score multiple goals in early appearances and in markets such as anytime scorer, first-half scorer, or goal involvements for Vaz as he adapts. Consider match context and Vaz’s likely minutes when staking.
Outlook
If the medical goes smoothly and the paperwork is completed, Vaz could become a headline summer signing for Roma — a low-cost recruitment success for Marseille and a strategic investment for Roma’s young forward depth.
