Santos confirm AC Milan talks over Robinho

Peixe are keen to bring the forward back to his homeland, but admit that it will be difficult to strike a deal due to financial differences

The 28-year-old is believed to be keen on a move back to his former club, with Peixe star Neymar also calling for the Rossoneri star to agree a deal to join him back in Brazil. "Robinho wants to return to Brazil and for him that means returning to Santos," Ribeiro told TV O Povo de Fortaleza. "We have presented a written offer, though there is a difference between what the player and the club are asking for." Robinho made over 100 appearances for Santos before moving to Real Madrid in 2005, but despite the player`s love for the club, the president was quick to concede that negotiations are likely to be tough. "It can be circumvented, but it is not a simple task. It is a battle that must have results by the end of this week." Goal.Com
