The president of Santos, Modesto Roma, has already started making plans for next season and told the fans that next year will be very similar to 2015.
According to the journalist Jorge Nicola, Robinho, currently at Guangzhou Evergrande, has been unable to adapt to Chinese football and is negotiating a return to the Vila Belmiro. The report states that Modesto and Robinho’s lawyer, Marisa Alija, has had a series of contacts to discuss a return to Santos, but this has been denied by both parties. Marisa ensures that Robinho is not sad in China and says he’s still adapting. Modesto said: “Robinho is an idol, he’s a player that we like a lot, but we are not discussing about his return. The money is not easy and 2016 is another year as tight as 2015. Ganso, it’s the same situation. Santos cannot afford today, and we have some priorities. Robinho, it’d be a dream, obviously. But don’t know if we will succeed.”
