Real To Accept Robinho Offer?

The Cristiano Ronaldo saga may have come to a satisfactory end for Manchester United this summer but that doesn’t mean Real Madrid are out of the headlines. Having shown the world the low’s they’re prepared to sink to, to remain “the most important club in the world”, either with their relentless pursuit of other club’s players or their total hypocrisy in the face of their biggest supporter’s public rantings, Real will probably drag the last remaining summer transfer saga out until they’ve squeezed as many column inches out of it as possible.

The Spanish club made no secret of the fact that despite Robinho not being held in particularly high regard, they planned to hold onto him until they found somebody better. Cristiano Ronaldo was top of their hit list but having failed to land the Portuguese goal machine, they elected to sign Rafael van der Vaart. This again puts the Brazilian further down the pecking order, but despite the player’s unhappiness at being used throughout the summer as little more than a pawn in their game plan, the club have attempted to offer him an improved five year deal.  

Of course Real are all too aware of Chelsea’s desire to sign him in a deal which would double his current wages, and indeed, received an offer of £19.7million for the midfielder yesterday. However, it appears that after a summer during which Real Madrid’s representatives have been unable to shut up, when it comes to facing up to their own players wanting to leave, it’s all gone very quiet in the Spanish capital.

Obviously Robinho, who has remained in limbo for weeks, isn’t particularly impressed with his current employers and his agent, Wagner Ribeiro suggests “Robinho is very angry with the way the Madrid bosses are dealing with him. He calls me every day to know whether anyone has spoken to me about his future and I always have to tell him that no-one has called. I have been trying to speak with someone from the club for three days. Robinho does not understand what is going on. His ambition is to become the best player in the world but he won’t achieve that at Madrid because they treat him like a normal player.”

So, according to today’s press reports, having spent the best part of the summer trying to persuade Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo to go on strike in order to force a move to the Spanish capital, it looks as if the table’s could be about to turn with one of their own players ready to employ the same tactic on them.

What goes around comes around?
