According to Foot Mercato, Marseille could sell centre-forward Robinio Vaz in January to increase their transfer funds. Vaz has reportedly been made available for sale and will be sold if a satisfactory offer is received. Foot Mercato adds that he is being monitored by clubs in England and Germany. Separate reports have valued him at between €18-25million (£16-22m).

According to CaughtOffside and Africafoot, Arsenal has made an attempt to sign Robinio Vaz from Olympique de Marseille. Mikel Arteta considers Vaz a strategic investment for the future and not an immediate reinforcement. Arsenal believe he has a suitable profile for their transforming attack. Olympique de Marseille has set a starting price for the player between 20 and 30 million euros.

CaughtOffside reports that a major transfer battle has begun between Chelsea and Arsenal, as both clubs are interested in Robinio Vaz. According to the report, Arsenal are taking a more patient approach to the potential transfer. The same report states that Arsenal have been tracking his progress for several years but are less likely to attempt to sign him in January. It also says that Arsenal want to wait until Vaz has developed further, which means they might not begin talks for him until next summer or beyond.

Arsenal are observing the development of Marseille's 18-year-old striker Robinio Vaz, with Bayern Munich and Napoli also monitoring the player under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Chelsea are considered the leading contenders to sign him. According to a report from AfricaFoot, Enzo Maresca's side has made preliminary contact with the player's representatives and is in talks with Marseille to finalize a deal in January that would see the France U20 international move to Stamford Bridge in 2026. To retain their player, Marseille intends to offer Vaz a new long-term contract to deter interest, despite his current deal running until 2028. The forward, who holds both French and Guinea-Bissau nationality, has scored four goals and provided two assists in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season. He has one cap for the France U20 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m.
