New manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed on several occasions his interest in signing the 24-year old player but Real Madrid don’t want to release him as they can't find a replacement.

“Robinho is very angry with the way that the directors of Real Madrid have behaved towards him. He calls me every day to see if anyone has told me anything about his future,” the player’s agent Wagner Ribeiro told Marca.

The Spanish Champions were reportedly ready to offload Robinho if Cristiano Ronaldo would have been brought to the Bernabeu.

"Real Madrid wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and have not been able to. The second option was Van der Vaart. The third one was Villa and then in fourth place is Robinho," he continued.

"Things cannot be like that because he wants to be the best and he does not have the support at Real Madrid. He is also certain that Real Madrid is trying to sign David Villa," concluded the Brazilian’s agent.
