Career Overview
Robinho rose through the youth ranks at Santos, the same club that had produced Pelé four decades earlier. He made his senior debut in 2002 at the age of eighteen and was central to the Santos sides that won the Brazilian championship in 2002 and 2004 under coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
In 2005 Real Madrid signed him for a reported €24 million, where he spent three seasons winning two La Liga titles. In 2008 he transferred to Manchester City for a then-British record fee of £32.5 million following the club's takeover by Sheikh Mansour, becoming the first major signing of City's new ownership era.
After spells at Santos (on loan) and Milan — where he won Serie A in 2010–11 — Robinho continued his career in China, Turkey, and Brazil. He retired from competitive football in 2020.
