Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is adamant that Chelsea target Robinho will not be leaving the Bernabeu.
Chelsea made a £19.7m bid for Robinho, 24, on Thursday and he is believed to be keen to join fellow Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge.
But Calderon made his stance clear: “Definitely, he is going to stay with us. The coach (Bernd Schuster) has said he wants him in our team. We don’t see any possibility of Robinho leaving Real Madrid.”
Chelsea confirmed on Thursday that they have made a formal offer for the former Santos star.
“We know that Chelsea are interested in signing him,” Calderon added. “I don’t mind that other clubs try to sign our players - it’s normal, we have very good players. Anyone would like to have one of them for sale. But Robinho wants to be with us. He is one of the best players we have in our team and we need him for next season.”
