Robinho Jr., a 18-year-old Brazilian forward, has a verbal agreement to sign for Genoa from Santos in this final stretch of the transfer market. The operation will be a loan with an option to buy, and the player is already in Italy to complete the final steps of the move. 

Robinho Jr. moves from Santos to Genoa

The agreement between Genoa and Santos comes after several days of negotiations. The Italian club had already put forward a proposal for Robinho Jr.'s loan, although Santos initially rejected the economic conditions proposed. 

The initial offer included a one-season loan with a purchase option of 8 million euros. Genoa would cover 50% of the salary during the loan, and Santos would retain 10% of the economic rights in case of a definitive sale. 

That approach did not convince Santos because the Brazilian club did not want to share the salary costs during the loan. However, discussions continued, and now there is a verbal agreement to finalize the forward's arrival in Italy. 

The move will allow Robinho Jr. to play in Europe after establishing himself in Santos' youth categories. The forward made his debut with the first team in 2025, and in the 2026 season, he has played 13 matches and scored one goal, registered in a friendly against União São João.

Robinho's son prepares to arrive in Italy

The signing also has a family component due to the surname. Robinho Jr. is the son of Robinho, the former player of Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Milan, although the young player's new destination will be Genoa and not related to his father's sports career. 

The player had already traveled to Italy this week to progress with the procedures related to his European passport and residency in the country. This process could facilitate his joining a club on the continent during this transfer window. 

Prior to the agreement with Genoa, Robinho Jr. had attracted interest from other clubs in Europe. Sevilla, Espanyol, and Rayo Vallecano had also been monitoring his situation, although the Italian club was the one to formally propose to Santos.

The sporting context also favored a temporary departure. Robinho Jr. had not played for Santos since July 21, when he was part of the victory against Universidad Central de Venezuela in the Copa Sudamericana. 

Next step: medical examination and signing

With the verbal agreement already in place, Robinho Jr. must now undergo medical examinations and prepare the necessary documentation before officially becoming a player of Genoa. The forward is already in Italy, so the completion could happen in the next few hours.

The operation will allow Genoa to add Robinho Jr. through a loan with a purchase option, while Santos maintains a way to retain part of their rights in a future sale. The next step will be to formalize the contract and finalize the definitive terms of the loan.
