Santos re-opens negotiations for AC Milan’s Robinho
Robinho may be on his way back to Brazil this summer, according to reports in Italy.
The AC Milan attacker was rumored to be close to signing a deal to return to Santos during this year’s winter transfer window, but the deal fell through after both sides could not agree on a fee.
However, according to La Repubblica, negotiations for a potential summer transfer have re-opened for the 29-year-old striker, who has featured only sporadically in Serie A and the Champions League this season.
Robinho began his professional career with Santos in 2002 and helped them to win the Campeonato Brasileiro both in his first season and again in 2004. Following three successful seasons, he then moved to Real Madrid in 2005 where he won two La Liga titles in his four year stay with Los Blancos.
After a year and a half in England with Manchester City, he briefly returned to his native Brazil for a six-month loan with Santos before returning to Europe after Milan opted to buy him for approximately €18 million in 2010.
In his debut season with the Rossoneri, he contributed 15 goals in all competitions as Milan won their first Scudetto since 2004 and enjoyed a relatively successful sophomore season, despite their failure to retain the Serie A title.
Yet, this year, having fallen down the pecking order, he has only scored two goals in 16 league appearances this year and was restricted to just three appearances in Milan’s Champions League campaign.

He is skillful Player Milan should keep him b/s he is needed for next year to take CL.But Milan should release Ambrosini ,Yepes, Bonera, Antononi & Marco Amelia.
It seems like he’s suffering from a lack of confidence since he’s riding the bench game after game in favor of other strikers. But, I do think that he’s a solid overall player who still can contribute both league-wise and in the CL next season if given the chance. For instance, Allegri should have started him against Barca instead of Niang, who is just a kid who needs time to grow at such a big club.
He’s someone that can fill in if Pazzini is injured and Balotelli is unavailable–like the situation they found themselves in against Barca, and would relieve pressure on the youngsters like SES and Niang.
To me robinho is the best player in the world
