Roma finalising moves for Aston Villa’s Donyell Malen and Marseille’s Robinho Vaz

Roma are rapidly closing in on a double attacking swoop, with significant breakthroughs made for both Donyell Malen and the highly-rated youngster Robinio Vaz. According to Alfredo Pedullà, the Giallorossi have “accelerated” their efforts in the last few hours to provide Gian Piero Gasperini with fresh reinforcements.

Notably, the capital club has already reached a total agreement with Aston Villa for the transfer of Malen. The Dutch international, who arrived in Birmingham from Dortmund just a year ago, has given his green light to the move as Roma pivots away from more complicated negotiations for Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee. Furthermore, the club is simultaneously working to finalize the arrival of 18-year-old talent Robinio Vaz from Marseille.

Pedulla indicates that while total confirmation of the interest exists, the final details regarding the formula and structure of the deal are currently being ironed out with the French side.

Indeed, the double move signals a clear intent from sporting director Ricky Massara to reshape the offensive department this winter. Malen is seen as a ready-made starter for Gasperini’s tactical setup, while Vaz represents a significant investment in one of Europe’s most promising young profiles.
