The out of favor forward does not seem to feature in Fabio Capello's plans especially after the arrival of Argentinean Gonzalo Higuain from River Plate.

However, a loan move would enable the former Santos to catch up with the Brazilian Championship opener in April and he can return to Europe for the new season in August after his loan spell finishes.

"I have offers from three Brazilian clubs for an immediate loan until the start of competition in Europe. One is in Rio de Janeiro, one in Sao Paulo and another in Belo Horizonte." Ribeiro told Brazilian newspaper O Globo.

Santos are likely to be one of the three clubs, while the other interested parties could be Cruzeiro and Flamengo.

Recent rumors suggested that Real have set an asking price of 18 million Euros for Robinho. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly interested in acquiring the 22-year-old's services.
