Linked with Flamengo, Robinho breaks silence on Santos exit | OneFootball

Robinho Jr has been linked with Flamengo in recent weeks

The transfer window is closed, but transfer market speculation continues. Recently, ESPN reported that Flamengo was approached regarding the signing of Robinho Jr, from Santos. At the Maracanã to face the Rubro-Negro, the forward spoke for the first time about the situation.

“Man, I don’t know anything. The ones who know about that stuff are my agent and the people who manage me. But so far, nothing has come through,” said Robinho as he was leaving the Maracanã, after Flamengo’s 3-1 win over Santos in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. The forward remained on the bench throughout the match.

ROBINHO JR AT FLAMENGO?

According to a report published by ESPN in March, 18-year-old Robinho was offered to Flamengo. However, the Rubro-Negro was not interested in the prospect, who is being closely monitored by European clubs such as Inter Milan (ITA).

Part of the senior squad since last year, Robinho has made 22 career appearances, with one assist and no goals scored. The youngster has been used sparingly this season. In the Brasileirão, for example, he has made only two appearances, always coming on in the second half and totaling 13 minutes.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING IN THAT ROLE?

At the moment, Flamengo has players who play the same role as Robinho — that is, out wide on the wings. For example, Bruno Henrique, Everton Cebolinha, Gonzalo Plata and Luiz Araújo. In addition, Jorge Carrascal and Lucas Paquetá can also play in that area.

With plenty of players for the position, Flamengo fans hope some of them can shine this Wednesday (08) against Cusco (PER) in the team’s Copa Libertadores opener. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at an altitude of more than 3,400 meters.
