Real Madrid's Robinho urges AC Milan to try again

Real Madrid winger Robinho is urging AC Milan to try again for him at the end of this season.

"During the January transfer window Milan came looking for me," he explained. "Real Madrid chose to keep me, so the Italian club turned its attention towards Ronaldo."

"If things keep going like this, I think it will be difficult for me to stay in Madrid. I would go elsewhere and try to find more space."

Robinho had been linked to Milan when he was still at Santos in the summer of 2005, although he has found life tough under Fabio Capello's regime.

"He does not have faith in me. If he did, then I would be a first team player, not a reserve. It's only logical and I take nothing back," added the ex-Santos star.

"I was asked if I was happy and I said yes because I live in a nice house in a lovely city. But I am only truly happy on the field and no player can be when he is only allowed a few minutes in the second half."
