Chelsea almost have Robinho
Filed Under Football
Chelsea are close to signing Real Madrid forward Robinho, according to Blues chief executive Peter Kenyon.
“Everybody expected negotiations to go close to the wire and that’s what it will do but we’re confident it will happen,” he said. “There are no hitches, it’s just a lengthy process.”
Reports have suggested that the 24-year-old Brazil international, who is contracted to Real until 2010, could cost the Blues about £30m. His agent Wagner Ribeiro said that the deal could be completed in the next two days which may mean Robinho would be available for Chelsea’s match against Lonodn rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
Kenyon added that AC Milan forward Kaka, who the Blues have also been linked with, would not be joining his compatriot at Stamford Bridge.
