Agent: Barca Want ROBINHO



Barcelona could be set to table a shock bid for Real Madrid star Robinho, according to the player's agent Wagner Ribeiro.

Speculation has been rife that the forward is on his way to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Chelsea favourites for his signature.

Ribeiro claimed on Tuesday that the Blues were winning the race, with Robinho attracted by the idea of linking up with their new boss, fellow Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Reports in Spain suggest that Madrid's bitter rivals Barca could be preparing a bid, with both club president Joan Laporta and coach Pep Guardiola in favour of the idea. And Ribeiro insists the notion is not a surprise to him.

"It's only logical that a club like Barcelona want Robinho," he told Spanish sports daily El Mundo Deportivo.

"He is also wanted by Chelsea and Manchester United.

"Chelsea have presented a big offer for Robinho to Real Madrid, but it seems as if the club don't want to sell him."

Chelsea have reportedly made an offer of 60million euros for the 24-year-old, who has been mooted as a possible makeweight in a deal to bring United's Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish capital.

However, it is believed Real are reluctant to let Robinho go until the Ronaldo saga reaches its conclusion, and Ribeiro has reiterated his client's claims that he is be happy in Madrid.

"Robinho has a contract at Real Madrid," he added. "And for that reason he is not looking to leave the club."

Robson de Souza (nicknamed: Robinho) was born at January 25, 1984 in Parque Bitaru, a poor neighborhood of São Vicente in São Vicente, São Paulo.
