Speaking to the Barcelona based newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo," Wagner Ribeiro tried to dampen speculation that Robinho was looking for a way out of Real Madrid, with English Premiership side Chelsea a possible destination.

Chelsea are being rumored to have offered 60 million euros for the player, who would struggle to hold down a first team place with Real Madrid, should the Spanish side eventually sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Events have moved on this week with FC Barcelona also interested in taking Robinho away from their main rivals, something Ribeiro did not deny.

"It is logical that a club such as Barcelona wants Robinho. Chelsea and Manchester United also want him and Chelsea have put in a big offer to Real Madrid for Robinho, but it looks as if the club does not want to sell him," Ribeiro told El Mundo Deportivo.

"Robinho has got a contract with Real Madrid and for that reason he is not looking to leave the club," insisted the agent.
