Madrid Furious About Robinho Outburst
-
Real Madrid are furious about Robinho's outburst regarding his future at the club and will demand to know why he said he would listen to offers from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The Brazilian made his declarations while on international duty this week in what was believed to be an attempt to push the Spanish club into putting a new contract on the table.
According to Robinho if he were to move to England then he could earn double his current €2m-a-year contract with Chelsea allegedly prepared to make that his basic wage.
After playing their own cat and mouse game through the media over Cristiano Ronaldo, the Madrid hierarchy are infuriated that one of their own is using the same method against them.
Robinho will be called to task in the next few days and asked to explain why he went public when the club have not received any offers of enquiries about his availability.
Madrid are also concerned about his strength and when he does return on July 14, it is believed that there will be a special exercise plan waiting for him.
Despite impressing in some games, Madrid believe that he is still too lightweight to handle the weekly rigours of playing in Spanish and European football.
A source told AS: "Robinho possesses incredible natural talent, but to take the hits that he receives from defences in Spain and Europe he needs two or three more kilos of muscle on his legs."
