Robert Gonçalves Santos (born 28 September 1996), commonly known as Robert, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Spanish club FC Barcelona B, on loan from Fluminense FC.

Football career

Born in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Robert began his career at Fluminense FC. He was first included in their matchday squad on 3 November 2013, remaining an unused substitute in their Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 1–0 loss at Fla-Flu rivals Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. He was called up for six more games that season, and made his debut in the final fixture on 8 December, replacing Kenedy for the final 24 minutes of a 2–1 win at Esporte Clube Bahia.[1]

After only making three appearances on the bench in the following year's national championship, Robert returned for the 2015 Campeonato Carioca, making five appearances including his first two professional starts. On 8 February, he scored his first goal for the Flu; on as a half-time substitute for Lucas Gomes, he decided a 2–1 win over Bangu Atlético Clube with five minutes remaining at the Maracanã Stadium.[2] He scored in the penalty shootout on 18 April in which his team lost 9–8 to Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas in the semi-finals.[3] Robert went on to make four substitute appearances in the subsequent national league, scoring his first goal in the tournament on 4 October, an added-time consolation in a 3–1 loss at Santos FC.[4]

On 30 December 2015, Spanish treble champions FC Barcelona announced the signing of Robert, assigning him to their reserves in Segunda División B for the remainder of the campaign.[5]
