Spanish giants Barcelona are believed to be interested in signing Brazilian superstar Robinho who plies his trade with Premier League Manchester City. The European Champions have refused to rule out a move for the little Brazilian.
He previously played for Barca’s bitter rivals Real Madrid before joining City in 2008 for £32.5million. He has continuously been linked with a move back to Spain. He has always declared that he is happy at Eastlands but a move to Barca could be a big temptation.
The 25 year-old is out injured at the moment after picking up an ankle injury on international duty. He may find his path in to the first team blocked with Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor and Craig Bellamy all currently in decent form. Bellamy has been in superb form this season so far and Emmanuel Adebayor is back after serving a suspension. Carlos Tevez is also just starting to get back to best.
Barca’s sporting director Txiki Begiristain has failed to deny reports linking the former Santos star with his club and knows that should the Brazilian join in January he could appear in the Champions League. He told Sport: “He’s a very interesting player and can play in the Champions League,”
Born in 1984, Robinho is still young, and will probably be playing with the Brazilian team in the World Cup 2010 and in the World Cup 2014.
