Chelsea increase their efforts to sign Robinio Vaz as the Olympique de Marseille forward continues to deliver standout performances in Ligue 1.
The 18-year-old, who emerged from the club’s academy, attracts growing interest from several major European sides.
Vaz energises OM’s attack with his pace, direct play, and confidence.
His form draws attention from Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Napoli.
Chelsea show the strongest intent and establish early contact with the player’s representatives.
The London club also maintain dialogue with Marseille as they prepare for the winter transfer window.
Marseille want to keep their academy product and move quickly to protect their asset.
The club plans a long-term contract offer to secure his future and discourage growing competition.
Vaz follows in the footsteps of Boubacar Kamara and Maxime Lopez as one of the few recent academy graduates to make a successful transition into the first team.
Chelsea continue to push for a deal. The Premier League side track his progress closely and remain confident in their ability to attract emerging talent.
Vaz stays under contract with OM until June 2028, which gives Marseille a strong negotiating position.
OM have already turned down a significant bid from an unnamed European club.
His market value, listed at €4 million on Transfermarkt, has risen sharply.
Marseille now estimate him at four times that figure as his influence grows and interest intensifies.
The coming weeks may shape one of the most watched transfer stories of the winter window, as Chelsea attempt to secure one of Ligue 1’s brightest young attackers.
