Robinho rumours gather pace

Rumours are circulating that unsettled Real Madrid star Robinho is open to the possibility of a return to Brazil.

It is been reported that he could return to Santos on loan immediately, and come back to the Bernabeu in August at the end of the Brazilian season.

A decision on his long term future can then be taken, depending on the wishes of the (very likely new) coach.

All that, however, now depends on Pedja Mijatovic giving the go-ahead, and the player's agent hinted towards as much.

"I have read in the press that Real Madrid want to sell him at the end of the season for 18 million euros (£12m)," Vagner Ribeiro told O Globo.

"If that is the case I would like Pedja [Mijatovic, Real sporting director] to say so."

"I have offers from three Brazilian clubs for an immediate loan to the Brazilian loan until the start of competition in Europe. One is in Rio de Janeiro, one in Sao Paulo and another in Belo Horizonte."

Apart from Santos, Cruzeiro, Flamengo and Fluminense are said to be in the interested.
