Robinho Agent Confirms Chelsea Interest
Robinho's agent has made it clear that they are at the very least open to listening to an offer from Chelsea.
Madrid-based sports daily As claims that Roman Abramovich's Chelsea have tabled a bid of €35m for the unsettled Brazilian winger, and his representative is now anticipating to be approached by the English giants directly.
“It is not new but now with the arrival of Scolari to the bench they have increased the contact,” Ribeiro told the Daily Star.
“I expect there to be an official contact between the clubs this week after the end of the Euros.”
Apparently Scolari is particularly eager to land his former protégé, who was on the fringes of the Brazilian national team during the coach's tenure as Seleçao boss.
At present Robinho is back in his hometown of Santos with his wife and son for a holiday, but needless to say this will not stand in the way of his agent doing his job and wheeling and dealing on his behalf.
