Robinho has left the door open for a possible move from Manchester City during the winter transfer window after admitting he is "happy" at interest shown by Barcelona and insisting that it is "not easy to say no" to the European champions.
Barcelona have been searching for a left-sided attacker since the end of last season's treble-winning campaign and their coach, Pep Guardiola, continues to insist on the need for reinforcements after the summer window shut without the club signing anyone in that position. Robinho has emerged as the strongest candidate. Guardiola is an admirer of the Brazilian and Barcelona believe a deal can be struck.
Asked last night about Barcelona's interest, Robinho, who is on international duty, said: "It's not easy to say no to a club like Barcelona. They are European champions, they're in a lovely city and I like Spain a lot. I have always wanted to play at clubs like Barcelona. It's a great club, any player would be happy for them to show an interest. I'm happy that Barcelona have taken notice of me. Who wouldn't like to play alongside Xavi, [Andrés] Iniesta, [Lionel] Messi, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic and all the rest. I like Barcelona; they're a great club."
Wow Although being a good player on his day I believe our youth players like Pedro or Jeffern can supply maybe enough cover.
