Robinho has agreed to return to former club Santos for the fourth time in his career. The former Brazil national team star played for soccer giants like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester City, but he is already 36 years old.
The winger has now returned to his home club Santos, where he will play for a minimum wage of $271 a month, as he does not want to become a burden to the team's finances and thus, wants to help his side.
The veteran played for Santos from 2002 to 2005, then on loan in 2010, and again on another loan in 2014-2015. Besides Madrid, Milan and City, he has played for İstanbul Basaksehir, Sivasspor, Atletico Mineiro, and Guangzhou Evergrande.
Robinho-Santos: Eternal love story
“It’s a marvellous feeling being back at the club where I made my name. I grew up here. I always dreamed of being a footballer and Santos FC made this possible," he said after the announcement.
"This has always been my home. My objective is to help on and off the pitch and get Santos in as high a place as possible."
