Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giants have officially secured the services of Brazilian Footballer Robson Robinho, as he landed in Kolkata on September 1, 2025.
Robinho, who has previously played in the Brazilian Serie A (Brazil’s top flight), joins MBSG from EC Agua Santa (SP), a Sao Paulo-based club playing in the region’s third division.
The 30-year-old has played most of his professional football in Brazil but made a significant mark in South Asian football during his stint with Bashundhara Kings.
Robinho won seven trophies with the Bangladeshi side, scoring 64 goals and providing 49 assists in 97 appearances.
“I have played against Mohun Bagan when I was with Basundhara Kings. I knew then that it’s India’s most successful club. I’m sure the people at the club remember how I played in that match, and I hope to emulate the same kind of success here. Let’s wait and watch,” said Robinho.
Robinho can now be expected to join Mohun Bagan’s squad for their opening AFC Champions League group-stage match against FK Ahal on 16 September.
The 30-year-old winger has spent most of his career in Brazil, making appearances for clubs like Fluminense. He made his move to South Asia, joining Bangladesh Premier League side Bashundhara Kings in 2020.
Robinho was an instant hit in Bangladesh, finishing the 2020-21 season as the BPL’s top scorer and helping his side win the domestic double. Overall, he scored 64 goals and had 49 assists in 97 appearances.
As per media reports, he was also a target for East Bengal. The Brazilian enjoyed his Bashundhara Kings success under manager Oscar Bruzon, who is at the helm of the Red and Gold Brigade now.
However, Mohun Bagan struck the deal early. Robinho, who can play across the front line as a number 10 or on both flanks, will replace the recently departed Greg Stewart or complement the strike partnership of Jason Cummings and Jamie MacLaren.
