Hull City 'reach verbal agreement' to sign Robinio Vaz from Roma as buy option fee outlined
A fresh claim regarding Hull City’s pursuit of a France youth international has emerged
Hull City have reportedly reached a verbal agremeent to sign Robinio Vaz from Serie A giants Roma.
The 19-year-old only made the move to Roma in January, sealing a move from Marseille for a fee believed to be in the region of €25m (£21.4m).
He has since made 14 appearances for the Italian club, scoring once, and now appears set for a fresh challenge in England.
Hull City close in on promising forward
Premier League newcomers Hull are thought to have agreed sign the forward for on loan, forking out €2m (£1.7m) to borrow him for the 2026/27 campaign.
The Tigers will then supposedly have the option to buy the France youth international for a fee of €30m (£25.6m).
Posting on X, transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano said:“Hull City reach verbal agreement to sign Robinio Vaz, here we go! Initial green light from the striker to join from AS Roma on €2m loan fee and €30m buy option clause. Hull City are planning for travel in next 24h.”
Robinio Vaz’s profile
Vaz’s goalscoring record may not be getting the MKM Stadium excited, but Hull would be landing a player thought to have an incredibly high ceiling.
He registered four goals and three assists across 22 senior outings for Marseille having carved out a reputation as a prodigy in Sochaux’s youth system.
Hull would be adding a different dimension to their attack, with Vaz renowned for his spped and ability to get in behind defences.
The Tigers are hoping Vaz is not the only new arrival before the closure of the transfer window at 11pm tomorrow (September 1).
Fortunately for the East Yorkshire outfit, their hand has been strengthened by a strong start to life in the top flight.
Sergej Jakirovic’s men have beaten Manchester United and Coventry City, results that prospective signings will have taken note of.
