A Cruzeiro academy product, the 21-year-old featured in the Transfermarkt ranking that lists the top under-21 scorers in the 15 biggest leagues on the continent, taking 15th place.
Robert’s numbers in Denmark
Playing for Copenhagen, the forward enjoyed the most productive and decisive year of his professional career so far:
Matches played: 39
Goals scored: 8 goals (with half of them coming in the high-profile UEFA Champions League)
Assists: 3 assists
Young elite and Brazilian presence
The ranking has very few Brazilian representatives in the Top 20. Besides Robert, the other Brazilian to appear on the list is William Gomes, formerly of São Paulo and currently at Porto.
The survey also includes major rising stars of world football who are competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, such as Spain’s Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Turkey’s Kenan Yildiz (Juventus), Argentina’s Nico Paz (Como), and Japan’s Keisuke Goto (Sint-Truiden).
The journey since Toca da Raposa
Promoted to Cruzeiro’s first team in 2023 by coach Pepa, Robert was that year’s unlikely hero after scoring the crucial goal against Goiás that saved Raposa from relegation.
After earning more minutes in 2024 under Larcamón and Seabra, he was sent to Copenhagen on loan and, shortly afterward, signed permanently by the Danish club for R$17 million.
In total, he has already recorded 69 appearances, 10 goals, and 6 assists for the European club.
