Despite having to deal with a wage cut to saty at Santos, Robinho has insisted that he isn’t keen on a move back to Italy. The player claimed to Brazilian media outlet Globoesporte, “My desire is to stay here for a long time. I hope to stay here for many more years, because I want to continue to bring joy to the fans. I hope I get my wish, but I don’t know how it will end. Milan hold my contract, so it’s not entirely up to me, but I’ll do everything I can to stay here.”

Milan might not require another striker in January as the San Siro outfit were rejuvenated by the return of Stephan El Shaaarway before the International break. Also with Jeremy Menez in the thick of things, Robinho could spend the entire season at Santos.

Santos President Odilio Rodrigues also claimed that that club wants to keep Robinho. “We agree with Robinho: he wants to stay here and we want the same thing. He has a great relationship with the fans and we are ready to discuss his contract with Milan.”
