Lorient has made inquiries about Robinio Vaz, a 19-year-old French AS Roma forward, and is one of a number of interested clubs. Hull City, who are newcomers to the Premier League, are the leading club pursuing him and have reached an agreement with Roma that is at a very advanced stage for a €2 million paid loan with a €30 million purchase option. This move by the English club has reportedly prompted new solicitations from other European teams. In addition to approaches from Ligue 1, including Lorient's inquiry, there is also interest from the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie. PSV Eindhoven is noted as being very interested. AS Roma is willing to loan Vaz for the season and intends to recover its initial investment of over €25 million in a future sale. The player was initially reluctant to leave on a temporary basis but is now considering his options. He has not yet accepted Hull's offer, as he wishes to evaluate all proposals and is prioritizing guaranteed playing time. Vaz has been capped by France at the U20 level. He joined Roma from Olympique Marseille in January 2026, and his contract is valid until 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €18.00m.
