Played in the Copa Libertadores Final first leg for Corinthians against Boca Juniors last night and scored.

Only 21, he is a striker and scored 10 in 23 for Bragantino and 2 in 3 for Corinthians.

If these Brazillians such as Lucas Moura, Neymar, Leandro Damião, Casemiro, Romulu, Oscar etc stick by their word and stay in Brazil until the World Cup and they end up having a great tournament then I am pretty sure there will be a flurry of Brazillian talent coming to Europe that year!

He's Romario's son. Chip off the old block.

They are just merging names now?

Pelano going to get a game soon?

Is that true?? Romarinho's actual name is Romario as well.

It's in the blood then!

Just found out he is going Barcelona apparently!!

Typical!

Greatest striker of his generation imo.

Not the same player, Corinthian's Romarinho is 21, where as Romario's son is 18 also if you were good enough to get in the team in the final of the copa libertadores why join Barcelona B, why not at least try and secure a place in the first team if only as an impact. Barcelona have bought Brazilian prospects like Keirrison and loaned them out to other clubs only so much can be gained from playing in the segunda division.

Anyway the article that I read suggests that Romarinho is going there purely as a favour to his dad, and makes reference to the fact that he was recently released by Vasco da Gama.
