Strategist Roberto Mancini confirmed that Robinho will return to the Manchester club after the holidays.

The 26-year-old footballer spent the second half of last season in his native country with the team "Santos", to which he was loaned.

This summer there have been rumors that the Brazilian will move to "Milan", "Besiktas", "Barcelona" or "Santos" for a longer period, but at least for now he will return to England.

"Everything depends on him," said Mancini. "Robinho's contract with 'Santos' will soon expire, then he will spend a week in Brazil, represent the national team, and return to 'Man City'."
