Robinio Vaz Included Among Golden Boy 2026 Candidates

Robinio Vaz has officially been included among the 100 nominees for the 2026 Golden Boy award, the prestigious prize created by Tuttosport that recognizes the best under-21 player in European football. The young Roma forward is one of the emerging names featured on this year’s shortlist.  

The 2007-born attacker joined Roma earlier this year from Marseille in a deal reportedly worth up to €25 million including bonuses, making him one of the club’s biggest investments in young talent under the Friedkin ownership.  

Vaz is considered one of the brightest prospects in European football thanks to his pace, physicality, and finishing ability. The striker has already generated excitement among Roma supporters, with many viewing him as a long-term project perfectly suited to Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking system.  

The Golden Boy list also includes several of Europe’s top young talents, including Lamine Yamal, Endrick, and Franco Mastantuono.
