The young star Robinho Jr. delights big clubs

According to The Sun: Liverpool and Chelsea are fighting for the signature of the young talent Robinho Jr. – the 17-year-old son of the famous Brazilian footballer Robinho.

Big English clubs are actively trying to sign this promising forward, who could soon make his debut for the first team of Santos.

The legendary Brazilian club was the starting point for stars like Pelé,Rodrigo and Neymar, who recently returned to his home club.

Reports suggest that scouts from Liverpool, including veteran scout Dassler Marques, regularly attend Santos games, even when Robinho Jr. comes off the bench. Even with limited playing time, the 'Reds' are keeping a close eye on the young talent.

It is said that Neymar, who returned to Brazil last year to recover from an injury, is personally interested in the boy.

Wearing his father's iconic number 7 jersey, Robinho Jr. is trying to become the next big star, and both clubs are eager to sign him.

The Chelsea scouting team for South America, led by the former head of scouting at Corinthians, Alison Marins, is also attending games. They do not want to miss the chance to sign one of Brazil's most discussed young talents.

Chelsea recently had success in Brazil when they signed Esteban, who has quickly settled down in the Premier League.

The club aims to replicate that success with Robinho Jr. by offering him a similar career path in professional football as Esteban.

Family circumstances and club interests

Robinho Jr.'s journey has not been without difficulties. His father, former Manchester City star Robinho, is currently serving a nine-year sentence in Brazil due to a conviction in a 2013 rape case, which is why the Santos club is cautious with the media surrounding the son.

His mother is now effectively acting as his agent, and the player's contract carries a significant release fee of £43 million, which does not deter the interest of European clubs.

Santos is aware that they have a valuable asset, and with the support of Neymar and two leading clubs in England, Robinho Jr. has every chance of becoming the next Brazilian star in the Premier League.

Getty Robinho Jr., who is actively involved in football in his hometown, is becoming increasingly popular. The interest of large European clubs is an indicator of his potential and prospects, and watching his career is just beginning. The success he can achieve could open new horizons for young talents from Brazil in European leagues.
