Manchester City player Robinho has admitted that he would love to join Spanish and European champions Barcelona but was quick to add that he is committed to the Premier League club.
Robinho has been linked with a move to Camp Nou for quite some time now and the Brazilian international has now admitted that he would love playing for the European champions. The former Real Madrid star told El Mundo Deportivo:
“Of course I would like to play for Barca. Who would not? We could have so much fun.
“It would be a pleasure to play alongside [Lionel] Messi, my compatriot Dani Alves, Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, with them all. They’re a great team.
“I’ve played against them and know their quality. But right now I can only do it on the PlayStation.
“It is a pleasure to watch Barca play. They look like the best Brazilian team with the way that they use the ball. Pep Guardiola’s team is truly spectacular.”
“It is an honour that a coach like him speaks well of Robinho and values me as much as I have read he does. It fills my heart with pride.
“It is a question of sitting down and talking when there is a serious and concrete proposal and, as I have said before, I have not personally received that.
“Now would not be the right time to say things that could be badly interpreted here or there.
“I have a contract with City and, being the professional that I am, I am dedicated to them.”
