Santos FC authorized attacker Robinho Jr. to travel to Europe to resolve bureaucratic matters, including work visas and personal documentation, to facilitate a potential transfer. The player traveled to Italy to regularize his Italian passport and dual citizenship through his mother.

While several European clubs, including Spanish sides Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano, expressed interest in the player, Genoa reached a verbal agreement with Santos to sign the 18-year-old attacker on a one-season loan. Under the terms of this agreement, Genoa assumed full responsibility for the player’s wages, a condition previously rejected by Santos. The deal includes an option to purchase the player permanently for 8 million euros, with Santos retaining a 10% stake in his economic rights should a permanent transfer occur.

Genoa has officially signed the Brazilian forward on loan until the end of the current European season. The finalized contract includes a 2 million euro bonus if the player is called up to either the Brazilian senior or U-20 national teams. The move is intended to provide the Santos youth academy product with more consistent competitive minutes and development within the European football structure.
