After a slow start, Roma’s sporting director, Massara, is now preparing for a significant double transfer that could overshadow the potential of Raspadori.
The first deal involves Robinio Vaz, a 2007-born talent from Olympique Marseille.

As reported by Leggo and Il Messaggero, the agreement between the clubs was facilitated by the strong relationship between Massara and sporting director Benatia, which helped Roma fend off competition from Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund.
Marseille agreed to a loan deal with an obligation to buy for €20 million plus bonuses.
Vaz, viewed as one of the most promising talents in French football due to his physical prowess, versatility, and impressive performances so far, was persuaded by the sporting director and the coach’s vision. He is expected in Rome today to finalize the transfer.
Simultaneously, Roma has also secured a deal with Aston Villa for Malen. This arrangement will be a loan with an option to buy for €25 million.

The Dutch striker, noted for his adaptability and ability to play multiple positions upfront (which excites Gasp), is currently engaged in discussions with the Giallorossi, and reports suggest that there are no significant hurdles to completing the transfer.
