Chelsea target Robinho has today committed his future to Real Madrid after weeks of uncertainty over his future. The Brazilian international looked likely to join up with Luis Phillipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge after it was confirmed that the two clubs were close to agreeing a deal for the player.
It has been widely rumoured that the 24-year old would join the Premier League giants for £35 million later this week, but the deal now looks dead in the water. "I want to stay at Real Madrid for a long time," he told Spanish newspaper Marca. "I'm very happy and I want to continue. My head is calm, I want to have a good pre-season with Real Madrid and continue here."
I was personally looking forward to seeing Robinho in the Premier League. Although he hasn't been amazing for Real in recent seasons, he still is a very talented player that any club would love to have in their side. His skill on the ball is second to none and I am sure Scolari will be annoyed by his decision to stay at the Bernabeu.
