Brazilian international striker Robinho has confirmed that he has not intention of being used as a makeweight in a deal to take Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo to the club.
The 24-year-old told AS that he wanted to remain at Real, where he has been for the past three years, and was not interested in being used as a barganing chip in Real’s pursuit of Ronaldo.
“I hope to stay at Real this year,” said Robinho, who cost Real €24million when they bought him from Santos.
“I don’t want to be part of the Ronaldo deal.”
