Barcelona technical director Txiki Begiristain will lead a delegation from the Spanish giants to thrash out a deal for Manchester City’s Brazilian superstar Robinho next Wednesday.
Barca chiefs are claiming that they have set up a meeting with Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi and put forward three proposals to try and broker a deal for Robinho.
The reigning European champions are prepared to pay the £34million that City paid Real Madrid for Robinho last year for a permanent transfer in January.
Barcelona are also putting forward a loan deal, signing him in January until the end of the season, with a £3million loan fee and paying his £160,000-a-week wages or an 18 month loan deal with a view to a permanent move.
Robinho, currently recovering from a stress fracture, is keen to return to Spain even though City boss Mark Hughes has publicly claimed he does not want to sell.
Brazil star Robinho said: “I’m calm. My father takes care of those matters.” Then when told the deal was close, Robinho told a Spanish newspaper: “If so, that’s good.”
Robinho has made it clear that he wants to quit City and team up in Barcelona with Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a dream attacking line-up.
Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry is believed to be on his way out of the Nou Camp with MLS club New York Red Bulls keen to sign him while City have also been interested in the past.
Sheik Mansour is expected to meet with Begiristain and Barcelona’s director of football Raul Sanllehi and board member Albert Perrin.
But City’s wealthy owners are stressing that they will not give the transfer the go-ahead unless it gets manager Hughes’ blessing.
It was believed Robinho was unaware of which club he was joining when he left Real Madrid in August 2008 and has had an inconsistent career at City.
IS THIS JUST MORE FUCKING BORING CRAP................OH ITS FROM THE MIRROR BY THE WAY.
