Robson Alves de Barros (born 12 November 1997), known as Robson Bambu or just Robson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club Braga.
Born in São Vicente, São Paulo, Bambu joined Santos' youth setup in 2007 at the age of ten.[2] On 4 August 2016, he extended his contract until November 2018.[3]
In January 2018, Bambu was promoted to the main squad by new manager Jair Ventura.[4] He made his professional debut on 28 January, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Paulista home draw against Ituano.[5]
Bambu made his Série A debut on 25 August 2018, coming on as a first-half substitute for injured Gustavo Henrique in a 2–0 home win against Bahia. Three days later he made his Copa Libertadores debut, replacing injured Lucas Veríssimo in a 0–0 home draw against Independiente.
On 21 November 2018, Bambu was announced at Athletico Paranaense for the 2019 season.[6]
On 5 June 2020, Bambu joined Nice in a deal worth €8 million euros.[7] He played his first match for the club on 23 August, in a 2–1 Ligue 1 win against Lens.[8]
On 20 January 2022, Nice sent Bambu on a one-year loan to Corinthians.[9] He also spent the following year on loan at a Brazilian Série A club, this time Vasco da Gama.[10]
In January 2024, Bambu joined Portuguese Primeira Liga club Arouca on loan for the remainder of the season with an optional buy-clause.[11]
Bambu was called up to Brazil under-20s in August 2016, for a friendly against England.[12] In December, he was included in Rogério Micale's 23-man squad for the 2017 South American Youth Football Championship in the place of injured Gustavo Cascardo,[13] appearing twice during the tournament.
