Agent says player wants Chelsea move
Robinho's agent has revealed the Brazilian's anger and dismay at his treatment by Real Madrid and says that he cannot stay at the club if he wishes to become the world's best player.
Wagner Ribeiro pulled no punches as he told reporters that the Samba star has become completely disillusioned with life at the Bernabeu after the club's treatment of him this summer.
Now
Chelsea have made a formal offer for Robinho the split between the player and Madrid has become even wider and the problems have now been exposed by Ribeiro.
"Chelsea have made a formal proposal to Real Madrid for Robinho. I do not know the amount, but the offer has been made," he is quoted as saying in
Marca.
"Robinho is very angry with the way that the directors of Real Madrid have behaved towards him.
"He calls me every day to see if anyone has told me anything about his future and I have to tell him that I have received no calls.
"I have spent three days trying to speak with some of the directors at Madrid, but they have all disappeared.
"Robinho does not understand anything. He wants to be the best player in the world, but at Real Madrid he cannot achieve that because they treat him like a normal player.
"He has liked nothing about the way that Real Madrid have gone about their transfer activity this summer."
Madrid were reported to be ready to include Robinho in a swap deal with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo and it is the Spanish club's pursuit of the Portuguese star that caused the problems, according to Ribeiro.
"Real Madrid wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and have not been able to. The second option was Van der Vaart. The third one was Villa and then in fourth place is Robinho," he continued.
"Things cannot be like that because he wants to be the best and he does not have the support at Real Madrid. He is also certain that Real Madrid is trying to sign David Villa."
In recent months, Robinho stated that he only wanted to stay with Real Madrid, but that was before being made to feel like he was down the list of the club's priorities.
"Robinho's plan has been to play for Real Madrid for many years and then go back to Santos. Where is he going to find a better club than Real Madrid?" Ribeiro said.
"But now he does not have the support he needs, and he knows that Scolari is willing to give him that because he knows him and speaks to him often."
