Roma block Vaz's exit until new winger is signed

Roma has paused the loan exit of Robinio Vaz to Hull City until the club finalizes a new winger, according to La Repubblica. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini made the stance clear to sporting director Tony D’Amico: the 2007-born French talent will remain in the capital unless Roma completes and formalizes the purchase of their preferred attacking winger. As a result, there will be no transfer to England for Vaz for now, with the transfer window approaching and Roma still working to complete its attacking options. The decision also avoids weakening the squad numerically, leaving Vaz available as a kind of insurance while negotiations continue.
