Robinho's Popularity over time
Height, Weight & Measurements
Robinho stands at approximately 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall and weighs around 150 lbs (68 kg). His compact stature gives him a low center of gravity, which, combined with his agility, allows him to maneuver smoothly past defenders.
On 22 October, Robinho scored the opening goal in the 2013–14 Champions League match against Group H favourites Barcelona, from a pass by his compatriot Kaká. After Lionel Messi's equaliser, however, he missed an excellent opportunity to score another goal in the second half, after which the match ended in a 1–1 draw.
In November, he was sidelined again, this time due to a dislocated shoulder, an injury he picked up during the match against Celtic in the Champions League.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
As of 2025, Robinho is reported to be in a relationship with his long-term girlfriend. While he tends to keep his personal life private to some extent, he has been known to share glimpses of his family on social media. He is a devoted father to several children from his previous relationships. The Brazilian star connects with his fans by occasionally posting family moments, emphasizing the importance of family in his life.
His form had brought him to the attention of many European clubs in the summer of 2004, but Robinho remained with Santos after the Brazilian club rejected all offers. His form suffered in the 2005 season, however, after his mother, Marina da Silva Souza, was kidnapped by gunmen at her Praia Grande home on 6 November; she was released unharmed six weeks later after a ransom was paid.

His time at top clubs in Europe increased his financial standing, and he has been involved in numerous sponsorship deals with major brands. Additionally, Robinho has pursued investments in the hospitality and real estate sectors, which contribute to his growing wealth.
Robinho scored nine goals in 12 league games, and his value continued to increase as his talent became more and more apparent to the powers of European football. Santos began to realise it would become increasingly difficult to hold on to their star player.
In July 2005, Spanish giants Real Madrid signed Robinho by agreeing to pay a fee equal to 60% of the buyout clause in his contract belonging to Santos (€24 million).

In his early years, Robinho played a lot of futsal which was responsible for developing his dribbling and acceleration skills. He signed his first professional contract with Santos in 2002 at the age of 18. He made 24 appearances in his debut season and scored one goal as Santos won the 2002 Campeonato Brasileiro.

On 27 August, Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon said that the club were "confident" that the transaction would go through, and Madrid had also given their consent for the player to leave.
Robinho's expectancy to move to Chelsea was such that upon signing for Manchester City he accidentally stated, "On the last day, Chelsea made a great proposal and I accepted." To this comment, a reporter then replied, "You mean Manchester, right?" "Yeah, Manchester, sorry!" answered Robinho.
