According to reports in Spain, Chelsea plan to offer a massive €35million for the Brazilian whiz Robinho. Real Madrid have previously stated that the 24-year-old is not for sale, but Chelsea are hoping they will reconsider when presented with this offer.
Spanish newspapar Marca reports that Arsenal and Manchester United could join the race for the Brazil international, should the Spanish champions consider Chelsea’s offer.
During a radio interview, Madrid coach, Bernd Schuster, denied that Madrid had any desire of selling Robinho or midfielder Diarra, who also have been rumoured to leave the club this summer.
“They are two important players for us. Why would we want them to leave?,” he said.
Finally, Marca also states that Robinho might be used later as a bargaining chip to lure Ronaldo away from Manchester United at some stage, and is therefore considered a vital component to make that deal happen.
