A Brazilian teenage star is reportedly attempting to end his contract with Santos after Neymar “violently slapped him in the face”.
The imprisoned former Brazilian and Manchester City player’s son, Robinho Jr., accuses Santos of not adhering to “minimum safety conditions.”
According to Brazilian publication R7 as reported by the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old served the club with an out-of-court notice requiring them to execute four actions within 48 hours.
Neymar is accused in the notice of “uttering offensive insults, tripping him, and violently slapping him in the face.”
Additionally, he requests that Santos look into the event, provide video of the training session, make a statement, and set up a meeting with Robinho Jr. to talk about ending his contract.
Neymar, Robinho Jr Got Into Fight
According to Globo, Neymar and Robinho Jr. were training with the team’s reserves when the 34-year-old complained about his 18-year-old teammate dribbling by him.
After Neymar told him to “take it easy,” they got into a fight and started pushing each other.
Following allegedly slapping and tripping Robinho Jr., the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player and the youngster were kicked out of the session.

Neymar apologized to Robinho Jr. after acknowledging that he was at blame for the incident, which seems to have ended the altercation.
Their intimate bond has been compared to that of a “godfather and godson.”
But that has not stopped Robinho Jr from wanting to leave the club.
The club has already released a statement, saying: “Santos informs that, by order of the presidency, an internal investigation process was initiated immediately after the events occurred to analyze the episode involving athletes Neymar Jr. and Robson de Souza Jr. (Robinho) during training last Sunday.”
