ROBINHO AND REAL MADRID |
|
|
 However,
he expressed a desire to leave the country after his mother was
kidnapped at the end of 2004 and was held captive for two months
(one among several cases of relatives of famous Brazilian
footballers being kidnapped around this time). He finally left
Brazil in the summer of 2005 and started his European club
career with Spanish giants Real Madrid. On July 31 Spanish La
Liga giants Real Madrid agreed a fee of about 30 million US$ for
the striker. Robinho joined the side on August 25, and teamed up
with fellow Brazilian internationals Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and
Julio Baptista to make his debut against Cadiz, coming on as
substitute in the second half for Thomas Gravesen. His shirt
number for the season is 10.
