Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola
is a big fan of Robinho and
wants to bring the Manchester
City star back to Spain next year.
El Mundo Deportivo says Barca tried until the final
days of the summer market to bring the Brazilian to the Nou Camp,
but couldn't find an agreement before the transfer deadline fell
this week.
Twice, in Monte Carlo for the European Super Cup and during
City's visit to the Nou Camp for the Joan Gamper trophy,
negotiations were held over a deal for Robinho.
Guardiola would welcome the Brazilian with open arms and Barca
insiders are convinced City will sell once they have a big-name
replacement lined up next year.
