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.
