It’s all done with Marseille: he will arrive in the Giallorossi with an expensive loan and subsequent obligation to buy for around 25 million euros. In the meantime, the Dutchman’s yes is awaited. And it’s not over on Raspadori..
Two shots, one after the other. First Vaz, then also Malen. Roma reacted to Raspadori’s doubts like this, bringing home two players who find Gasperini’s approval and who are ready to land in the capital in the next few hours. In short, once the Raspadori issue was closed (but be careful: the conversation with the Atletico Madrid striker could also reopen, who knows…) Roma went to look for their goals elsewhere. Effectively managing to bring home one of the greatest talents of French football, Robinio Vaz, and then also adding the steering and dribbling of Donyell Malen, the Dutchman from Aston Villa who will give his consent to the transfer to the Giallorossi within 48 hours.

Yesterday Robinio Vaz trained separately, which was already a clear sign in itself of his farewell to Marseille. Tonight Olympique will play the round of 32 of the French Cup, in Bayeux, Normandy. Vaz won’t be there, so much so that yesterday he greeted the French fans with a post, which was later removed. But that in itself makes sense: “Marseillais, thank you for everything. For the moments of sharing and happiness experienced together. There are pages shorter than others, but equally important for a career. And thanks to all my teammates.” Vaz will arrive in the Giallorossi with an expensive loan and subsequent obligation to buy for around 25 million euros (15% will go to Sochaux, who sold him for 200 thousand euros). Marseille had been trying to renew his contract since October (expiring in 2028), going so far as to offer him up to 720 thousand euros. Proposal rejected and agreement subsequently made with Roma. And Roberto De Zerbi also returned to the renewal problems yesterday, thus: «I only know that there have been problems relating to his contract and that there are also some clubs interested in him». In particular Bayer Leverkusen, who however arrived late.

But the green light is also coming from Birmingham, where the definitive yes from Malen is awaited in these hours, the Dutchman who is playing little at Aston Villa and who wants a change of scenery to get to the World Cup in the best possible way. Roma have had good relations with the English for some time, ever since former sporting director Monchi was in Birmingham to manage the sporting sector. In these hours there is a lot of talk about Bailey’s return to England and Malen’s arrival in the Giallorossi. With a formula that provides for a onerous loan of around 1.5 million euros and a right of redemption that should be around 20-21 million. There is a general agreement between the two clubs and in the last few hours the player has also had direct contact with Gasperini, convincing himself of the validity of the Giallorossi project.

Finally Giacomo Raspadori, the soap opera that has “coloured” the last ten days of the Giallorossi fans. Simeone didn’t talk about it in the conference yesterday, but there was a long discussion with the club. Atletico Madrid, in fact, is very annoyed by the player’s behavior and by his lack of agreement with Roma. So much so that throughout yesterday there was discussion about whether or not to bring Raspadori to La Coruña, where today Atleitco will take the field for the round of 16 of the Spanish Cup. Atletico director Mateu Alemany is not happy with the current situation, with Napoli still there, ready to embrace the player again. Roma has slipped away but still remains in the window. Who knows, there might also be a big surprise…
