Robinho wants to play for Barcelona – Agent

(GSM) – Manchester City forward Robinho’s agent has revealed that his client would love to play for Barcelona after this summer.

The 26-year-old striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Santos in Brazil and he is being offered to Barcelona in a swap for striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“Any footballer in the world would love to play for a club like Barca,” said Robinho’s representative Evandro de Souza in quotes published by Spanish newspaper Sport.

“The relationship between Robinho and the board at Manchester City is very good, although it’s true that there are some problems with the coach, Roberto Mancini.”

Robinho netted two goals as Brazil thrashed Tanzania 5-1 in a World Cup warm-up match yesterday. His agent is set for a meeting with Manchester City next Wednesday to discuss the player’s future.

“We have a meeting with City on the 16th. I will travel to Manchester with Gilvan de Souza (Robinho’s father) and we will look at the situation with Robinho,” he said.

“We know that City are looking for a club for Robinho.”

“There will be no quotes (from Robinho, at the moment),” he added.

“Robinho is focused on winning the World Cup and fighting for the Copa do Brasil (with Santos),” De Souza explained.
