# Hull City ‘close’ to agreeing deal to sign 19-year-old Serie A starlet

[Hull City](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/hull-city-transfer-rumours/) could hardly have asked for a better introduction to Premier League football, stunning Manchester United with a 2-0 victory at the MKM Stadium on the opening weekend.

The Tigers know there is a long way to go if they are to preserve their top-flight status, though, and further additions remain on the agenda.

They now appear to be closing in on another promising attacking arrival.

## **Hull City Close to Signing Robinio Vaz**

Hull City are nearing an agreement with Roma for teenage striker Robinio Vaz, [according to *The Athletic*](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7542549/2026/08/27/hull-robinio-vaz-transfer-roma/), with the forward set to arrive on an initial loan deal.

The proposed move would see Hull pay €2 million for the season-long loan, while also securing an option to make Vaz’s stay permanent for a reported €30 million.

The 19-year-old only joined Roma from Marseille in January after scoring four goals in 14 Ligue 1 appearances during the first half of last season.

Vaz subsequently made 12 Serie A appearances for Roma, all from the bench, and found the net once. Before his move to Marseille in 2024, he developed at Sochaux and has represented France through Under-20 level.

Hull are now working to complete the final details with both Roma and the player, with the deal appearing increasingly close.
