Robinho for sale!
Madrid Set Robinho PriceRobinho can leave Real Madrid if a club is willing to meet the €18 million asking price in the summer, according to the Brazilian player's agent.
Wagner Ribeiro revealed the amount after stating that the Spanish giants had rebuffed interest from AC Milan and Arsenal during the winter transfer window.
"Real Madrid refused and told me they did not want to sell him," Ribeiro told Radio Jovem Pan.
"At the moment, his situation is complicated and we must meet with Predrag Mijatovic in order to learn the intentions of the club for next season."
Madrid captured the 22-year-old from Santos after prolonged negotiations in 2005 and he went on to make 51 appearances, in all competitions, last season.
Under Fabio Capello, however, he has not won a regular place in the side and the Italian is said to have informed the board that he can be moved on if the price is acceptable.
That price now appears to have been set and may well attract a host of interested club in the coming months.
"Surprisingly, the club are willing to let Robinho go for 18 million euros," Wagner stated.
Robinho may not have impressed Capello in January when he demanded that he be played or he would consider looking for another team to play for.
The Italian coach is never impressed by public outbursts and would not have looked kindly on the player going to the press to vent his frustration.
Despite completing just nine matches, the Brazilian international has only failed to appear in six games this term as Madrid have struggled to find any consistency.
