Chelsea Make Early Contact Over Marseille Prospect Robinio Vaz as Arsenal Monitor

Unverified reports point to exploratory talks, with Marseille’s 2028 deal giving the club firm control over any decision.

Overview

Chelsea have reportedly held preliminary discussions with 18-year-old Robinio Vaz and his representatives and are in touch with Marseille’s hierarchy, according to Africa Foot relayed by CaughtOffside.
Arsenal are also tracking the Marseille forward, with interest described as monitoring rather than a move in progress.
No official bids or club confirmations have been reported, leaving any potential transfer as a developing situation for the next windows.
Vaz is under contract until 2028 and is valued at roughly €16 million (£14 million), positioning Marseille with strong negotiating leverage and no immediate need to sell.
The teenager has four goals in 14 appearances this season and is viewed as a high-upside prospect, which explains the attention from Premier League scouts.
