Robinho claims that Manchester United and Chelsea
have enquired as to his availability. The Brazilian international
has spent three years with Spanish giants Real Madrid, but has
failed to hold down a regular first-team spot at Santiago Bernabeu.
He was widely touted as the 'new Pele' after bursting onto the
scene as a teenager with Santos, but has struggled to life up to
that billing since moving to Europe.
However, at just 24 years old, time is still on his side and a
move away from Los Blancos could help to reinvigorate his career.
The playmaker is currently away on international duty preparing for
2010 World Cup qualifiers, but has taken time out to admit that he
has received approaches from two of the Premier League's top
clubs.
"I have never hidden away my wish to remain at Real Madrid, but
if the interest is serious I will have no problem leaving Real
Madrid as the interest from Manchester United and Chelsea makes me
very proud," Robinho told the Brazilian press.
