The Brazilian club announced that its contract had been resceded by mutual consent so that it could “concentrate exclusively” on the group rape fees that opposed it in Italy.
Robinho, 36, sentenced to nine years in prison in italian court following the alleged gang rape of an Albanian woman in 2013.
He denies the fees and appeals the verdict.
Speaking after Santos’ announcement, the striker went to Instagram to admit, “Guys, it’s Robinho.
“Of course, with a wonderful heart, I am here to tell you that I have taken the decision with the club president to suspend my contract at this time of my life.
“My purpose has been to help Santos Football Club and if, one way or another, I get in the way, it’s bigger for me to leave and focus on my non-public affairs. “
With a solemn look on his face, speaking in front of a portrait in what gave the impression of being his home and referring to the nickname of the Peixe or Fish club in English, he added: “For Peixe fans, who like me, I will. In fact, I’ll show you my innocence. A hug. “
The former Manchester City goalkeeper signed for Santos a week ago.
He was so desperate to join him that he even accepted a small salary of just two hundred euros a month.
He is an agent on the loose after his release through the Turkish look Istanbul Basaksehir.
The resolution to terminate their contract comes a few days after the withdrawal of a sponsor in reaction to their signing.
The T-shirt’s sponsor, Orthopride, said his resolve to break his contract due to the “respect” of his clients.
The chief operating officer, Richard Adam, told Globo Esporte: “We have great respect for Santos’ history. But right now, we have to terminate the sponsorship contract. “
“Ours is predominantly feminine and, out of respect for the women who buy our products, we had to make this decision.
“We’d like to explain that we haven’t been informed in the past of Robinho’s signature, we were surprised by this weekend’s news. “
Robinho, a father of two, was Manchester City’s first signing after his acquisition in 2008 when they saw Chelsea close a deal of 32. 5 million pounds, breaking the British record for moves at the time.
He makes $160, 000 a week.
He had a promising start, scoring 14 goals in the 2008–09 season, but made only ten appearances the following season and was loaned to Santos after a fight with Roberto Mancini before signing for AC Milan in 2010.
Robinho’s last agreement with Santos to see him pay a symbolic salary of only 1500 Brazilian reais, the equivalent of only 207 euros.
But reports said his base salary would be supplemented by bonuses if he made enough first-team appearances: about 41,000 euros after ten games and the same rates after 15.
Robinho, who signed his first contract with Santos at the age of 18 after being selected through Brazilian legend Pelé as his alleged heir, said in his signing rite a week ago: “It’s still my home.
“My purpose is to help in and out of the area and help Santos FC return to the most sensible people who have ever left them.
“It’s a glorious feeling to be back at the club where I made a call.
“I grew up here. I’ve dreamed of being a footballer and Santos FC has made it possible.
