Preparing for the new season, Barcelona continues to search for a player who can strengthen the center of the field.
The Catalans failed to persuade Cesc Fabregas to leave Arsenal in London, so the employees of Barca responsible for acquiring footballers immediately presented Josep Guardiola with other possible candidates.
Recently, Barcelona has been linked with Werder Bremen midfielder Mesut Ozil, but according to the newspaper "Sport.es," the Spanish champions were also offered a contract with Robinho, who belongs to the team.
In the summer of 2004, Real Madrid acquired the Brazilian from Santos and signed a five-year contract with him. Robinho, who became part of the "galactic" project led by Florentino Perez at that time in the Spanish capital, contributed significantly to Real Madrid's victories in La Liga, but eventually fell out with the club officials and was sold to Manchester City in 2008.
However, Robinho did not live up to expectations in England, so in the summer of this year, he was loaned out to Santos once again for six months.
During last winter, the Brazilian was also linked to Barcelona on several occasions, but he never wore the Catalonia club's jersey.
It is reported that Robinho's strong-willed character does not suit Barcelona's coach J. Guardiola, who did not want to work with the Brazilian player who was once considered very promising.
Guardiola himself has admitted that the most important factor in the success of the team he coaches is team cohesion and the relationship among players both on and off the field. It is said that Robinho, who is not lacking in arrogance, does not meet these criteria.
