ROBINHO JR. wants Santos teammate NEYMAR to issue a public apology following Sunday’s altercation.
Santos’ legal team is conducting an investigation after the teenager, who is the son of former Manchester City forward ROBINHO, accused NEYMAR of physically assaulting him during Sunday’s training session.
NEYMAR, 34, had reacted angrily after ROBINHO JR. dribbled past him in training, a move the veteran forward considered disrespectful. NEYMAR apologized later to the 18-year-old and his mother for his reaction on Sunday.
However, report in Brazil has it that ROBINHO JR. has made three allegations against NEYMAR and has demanded a meeting with Santos to discuss the termination of his contract due to a “lack of minimum safety standards” at the club.
According to report Santos were surprised that ROBINHO JR. and his representatives have taken that approach considering the two players spoke in front of their teammates and staff in an amicable tone shortly after the altercation.
Sources close to the club have revealed that the stance taken by ROBINHO JR. owes to his desire to leave the outfit, and that the demand of an apology is an attempt to seek the termination of his contract through legal channels.
