French media: Robinho’s son has made a name for himself at Santos, with a release clause of up to 50 million euros

November 8 According to French media Footmercat, Robinho Jr., the son of former Santos winger Robinho, is currently making a mark in the team and is expected to inherit his father's mantle.

Robinho made his debut for Santos 23 years ago, and now Robinho is trying to make a name for himself in this Brazilian club. Robinho Jr. was born in 2007, when his father was chasing his dream at Real Madrid. In 2022, 14-year-old Robinho joined Santos' youth training camp and has been making continuous progress. Soon he was seen as his father's successor.

In the view of Santos management, Robinho Jr. has the same football talent as his father and is expected to become a professional player in the future. In 2024, he scored 9 goals and became the top scorer in the Sao Paulo State U17 Championship and helped the team win the championship. Although he was not the main player, he still performed well. A few weeks later, in August 2024, he signed his first professional contract until 2027 with a release clause of up to 50 million euros.

As a player who openly expresses his admiration for Neymar, Robinho lives a relatively low-key life and seldom mentions his personal life. The Santos club also tried its best to protect him from overexposure. The 1.7-meter-tall man continued to improve on the court. This year he played 9 times in the Brazilian U20 League and scored 3 goals. In February 2025, he began to participate in the Sao Paulo State adult team and was registered as a member of the Brazilian League in July. It is worth mentioning that Santos handed him the No. 7 jersey that his father once wore. In the first team, Robinho played 8 times as a substitute, the most recent of which was against Fortaleza. The coach gave him the longest playing time so far (45 minutes).
