Didn't Chelsea sign him? Didn't he agree to play at Benfica for the rest of this yr and next? Does he have an agreement to play for Atletico Madrid next yr? Does Santos still own his rights...and this has all been speculation? What the hell is going on here. Can anyone please clarify?
First of all do not believe everything you read. Second nothing can happen until January 1, 2005. Here is what i know Chelsea has a deal in principle to buy him from Santos for $14 million dollars. They want him to go to Benfica for 18 months while they get a work permit for him. The Promblem is that Robinho wants a very high pay somewhere to what Nuno Gomes and Simao Make $60,000 dollars per month. So Viega has to line up the Money. If Benfica can come up with the cash you will see him at the Luz in January.
That Maletto should just be happy playin for a team like Benfica with such a tradition...so much so he should play for free.
another thread about Robinho he's free to choose the team that he wants, he's waiting til' the end of the brasileirão to accept the best offer, Atl.Madrid, Psv, and Benfica are good options, i would choose Atl.Madrid, cause spanish championship is much better, but after he joins them would be hard to leave the team and joind top european team, in Benfica and Psv that wouldn't happen, about Real Madrid, they're stupid if they want him, they ahve already Morientes, raul, Ronaldo, Owen, Portillo will return next season, do they want to screw his career?
