Robinio Vaz is a sensation from Olympique de Marseille's start to the season. Whilst he is already courted by European heavyweights, the Phocean club have just set his asking price.
With Amine Gouiri's absence for several weeks, Robinio Vaz has established himself in Roberto De Zerbi's attacking rotation. Since the beginning of October, the French striker has thus played in all of OM's encounters. Generally a super-sub, the 18-year-old player has nevertheless started three times in Ligue 1.
Robinio Vaz plays without inhibition and manages to regularly prove decisive. He displays interesting statistics with four goals and two assists in 14 matches for a relatively small amount of playing time of 331 minutes. The former Sochaux player is thus starting to attract suitors.
Chelsea offer coming in winter window?
Africa Foot recently shared that the Marseille player had caught the eye of four European heavyweights: Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Napoli. This Monday, Caught Offside, who specialise in the English transfer market, confirm the interest from the two Premier League giants.
The British outlet also adds that the Blues, who are the most active in this case, are studying “the possibility of formulating an official offer during the winter transfer window”. The London club wish to add Robinio Vaz to their project, where numerous young attacking talents are signed for the long term.
OM value Robinio Vaz between €20m and €30m
For their part, Arsenal would rather see an arrival of the young striker as an investment for the future, but not immediately for the professional team. It should be noted that OM are currently trying to extend their new gem's contract, which expires in June 2028.
The Phocean club do not wish to and are not considering a sale of Robinio Vaz soon. Caught Offside nevertheless indicates that the French side have set a sale price between €20m and €30m (£17m and £26m) for their striker, who arrived for only €200,000 in summer 2024 from Sochaux.
A significant amount for the France Under-20 international, who is only valued at €4m (£3.4m) by Transfermarkt. This therefore demonstrates OM's desire to keep him, whilst, according to the same source, the Phocean club have already refused an offer from a European team, whose name and amount have not been disclosed.
