Benfica and Porto go head to head for Robinho's son | OneFootball

Benfica is interested in signing Robinho Jr, namesake of his father, the former Brazilian striker who retired from football in the 2019/20 season. In addition to the Eagles, Porto has also entered the race for the young Santos player’s services.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur—a Turkish journalist specializing in transfer market news—who guarantees that, besides Benfica and Porto, Napoli, Roma, Sevilla, Girona, and Espanyol have also shown interest in the player.

The same source adds that the player—who can play as a winger on both flanks and as an attacking midfielder—will be heading to European football next season and that La Liga clubs are searching for “the next big talent from Brazil.”

For now, no transfer fee or details of a potential deal have been mentioned. What is certain is that the young player’s performances are causing a stir, especially after he provided the assist for former Benfica player Benjamin Rollheiser to secure Santos’ victory over Palmeiras.

In the 2025 calendar year, Robinho Jr—valued at 1 million euros—has played 31 official matches: 20 for Santos’ U20s and 11 for the first team. In total, across the 1,056 minutes he spent on the pitch, the forward recorded six goals and one assist.
