After [[Alexandre Pato]] took the number 9 jersey at Milan following the departure of club legend [[Filippo Inzaghi]], Robinho was handed the number 7 jersey that previously belonged to Pato. Robinho started in Milan's first game of the 2012–13 Serie A against Sampdoria, but was replaced by [[Urby Emanuelson]] due to an injury. Robinho made his comeback as a substitute against Cagliari, where Milan won 2–0. Four days later, Milan drew against Parma in an away match where Robinho came on as a substitute. Robinho came on as a substitute again against Inter, but Milan eventually lost 1–0. Robinho was then injured in training and was sidelined for the next five games. He made his comeback against [[Málaga CF|Málaga]] as a substitute in the 80th minute; the game ended as a draw. He scored his first goal of the season against [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], which was the winner in a 1–0 victory on 25 November 2012.<ref>{{cite news |title=A.C.

Robinho was close to signing with old club Santos in both January 2013 and July 2013, but the move fell through on both occasions due to the player's wage demands. On both occasions, Santos managed to reach an agreement with Milan over the transfer fee.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2013/07/09/santos-pede-para-robinho-reduzir-mais-o-salario-e-avisa-torcida-nao-podemos-fazer-loucura.htm |title=Santos pede para Robinho reduzir mais o salário e avisa torcida: "não podemos fazer loucura" |access-date=24 November 2017}}</ref>
