Robinio Vaz is set to join Roma after the Giallorossi agreed a deal with Olympique Marseille, according to reports.
Speculation linking Vaz and Roma has intensified in recent days amid the Giallorossi’s interest in strengthening their attacking ranks.
Although other targets have fallen through, with Giacomo Raspadori choosing Atalanta instead, Roma’s Vaz deal is on the home straight.
How much Robinio Vaz will cost Roma
Robinio Vaz accepted the Roma proposal on Tuesday morning, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The deal for the 18-year-old is reportedly worth up to €25m, added the Italian transfer insider.
Meanwhile, Footmercato have spoken of a base fee around €20m plus add-ons.
Vaz is reportedly expected in Rome soon to complete the final paperwork and undergo a medical.
Gianluca Di Marzio added that Freddy Massara’s visit to Paris on Monday, with the player’s agents and family, proved decisive.

What Robinio Vaz could bring to Roma
Robinio Vaz is a talented 18-year-old centre-forward who Roma see as a high-potential signing for both now and the future.
Despite limited minutes in Ligue 1, he has impressed, scoring four goals and providing two assists in 14 appearances this season.
That record has fuelled the belief he can grow quickly in Serie A, where Roma want more pace and power in attack.
In terms of his style of play, Vaz likes running in behind, attacking space quickly, and using his strength to hold off defenders.
The 6ft ace is most dangerous in the box, but he can also carry the ball forward on counters.
For Marseille, the deal would be a major sale of a teenager who is not yet a regular starter under Roberto De Zerbi.
Vaz has slipped down the pecking order behind more experienced forwards. Contract talks also played a part in his availability.
