Robinho invites Milan approach Wednesday 14 March, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan approached Robinho before settling for Ronaldo, revealed the striker, but he is ready to reconsider the move this summer.
The Rossoneri looked at several options to reinforce their front line in January and the 24-year-old Brazilian had been suggested as a potential target.
Now Robinho himself has told website Globoesporte.com that it was more than a simple rumour in the Press.
“During the January transfer window Milan came looking for me,” he explained. “Real Madrid chose to keep me, so the Italian club turned its attention towards Ronaldo.”
It may be considered quite a snub that Il Fenomeno was not first choice in the Real squad, but the two could end up being teammates again at San Siro.
“If things keep going like this, I think it will be difficult for me to stay in Madrid. I would go elsewhere and try to find more space.”
That club could well be Milan, who are said to be unsatisfied with the progress shown by Alberto Gilardino and Ricardo Oliveira this term.
Although Ronaldinho has repeatedly been named as the primary target, it won’t be easy to tempt him away from Barcelona.
Robinho had been linked to Milan when he was still at Santos in the summer of 2005, although he has found life tough under Fabio Capello’s regime.
“He does not have faith in me. If he did, then I would be a first team player, not a reserve. It’s only logical and I take nothing back,” continued the fiery youngster.
“I was asked if I was happy and I said yes because I live in a nice house in a lovely city. But I am only truly happy on the field and no player can be when he is only allowed a few minutes in the second half.”
