Robinho turns down Turkish move, wants Italy or Spain
Robinho has turned
down a formal offer from Fenerbahce hoping to leave Manchester City for
a Spanish or Italian club before the August 31 transfer deadline.
The 26-year-old
Brazil forward has remained out of City manager Roberto Mancini’s side
in the opening games of the Premier League season since returning from
his six-month loan spell at Santos.
“With all due respect to Turkish football, I’m not going to play there at the moment,” Robinho said.
“(Fenerbahce) were
the only team who sent an official (transfer) proposal but it’s already
decided that I’m not going,” he told the Brazilian sports website
globoesporte.com.
“I’ve got talks going on but I can’t reveal anything yet. A week is
time to do a lot of things. The only thing I’ll say is that I’ll carry
on in Europe, in Italy or Spain.” City paid Real Madrid a British
record 32.5 million pounds for Robinho in 2008 but the Brazilian
struggled to settle in England.
