Vaz had scored four goals and provided two assists from 14 appearances in Ligue 1 at the start of the 2025-26 season before joining Roma midway through the campaign. He would go on to add one more goal to his seasonal tally from 12 outings in Serie A, all of which came off the bench.

The likes of Manu Kone, Wesley and Matias Soule are still on the books in the final week of the Serie A transfer window.
The players that have left the Stadio Olimpico this summer include Artem Dovbyk to Genoa as part of the deal that saw Santiago Castro move in the opposite direction, as well as Saud Abdulhamid, Eldor Shomurodov and Buba Sangare. Zeki Celik has also left to join Juventus on a free transfer.

What happened
Roma are expected to complete the sale of Brazilian forward Robinio Vaz to English Championship side Hull City in a deal worth approximately €32 million. Vaz, a promising young talent at Roma, is set to make the move to England, marking one of the more notable cross-league transfers between Serie A and the EFL Championship. The fee would represent a significant windfall for Roma, who have been active in the transfer market.
Chance analysis
If confirmed, the sale of Robinio Vaz to Hull City would underline the growing financial muscle of Championship clubs willing to spend big on emerging talent from top European leagues. For Roma, a €32m departure reflects their continued strategy of developing and trading young players, while Hull City's willingness to meet that price signals serious intent to compete for promotion. The deal is a reminder that the gap between the Championship and Europe's elite leagues in player valuation is narrowing.
