According to Liverpool's reporter Steele of the Daily Mail, Liverpool is inspecting former Brazil international Robinho's son Robson Jr.

17-year-old Robson Jr. is about to officially advance to the Santos first team. This club in São Paulo has trained many stars such as Pele, Neymar, Rodrigo, etc.

Liverpool scout Dasler Max has inspected Robinho Jr. on-site many times this season, even though the young player most of the time he appears as a substitute. Neymar, who returned to Santos last year, often spent time coaching the teenager on the training ground.

Robinho, the old man, joined Manchester City in 2008. Before transferring to Real Madrid at a high price in 2005, he made 180 appearances for his hometown team Santos and scored 81 goals. Later in his career, he returned to Santos twice and also played for AC Milan. Now his son is wearing his No. 7 jersey in Santos.

Chelsea are also paying attention to Robinho Jr., and the Blues' South American scout team is led by former Corinthian chief scout Alisson Mariins.

As Robinho is currently serving a sentence in Brazil for a 2013 rape case (9 years in prison), Santos is trying his best to protect the team star from overexposed in the spotlight, especially given that other sensitive news already exists in his family. Robinho's mother is currently his de facto agent, and his termination clause is reportedly as high as £43 million.

However, scouts from Liverpool and other clubs are still paying attention to Robinho Jr. For Liverpool, they have been looking for the best young players in the market, and this potential signing may be worth paying attention to.
