Robinho Joins AC Milan
AC Milan have signed Brazil forward Robinho on a permanent basis from Manchester City. The Brazil international was initially thought to have been heading to the San Siro on loan, but he has now agreed a four-year contract with the Serie A giants.
Robinho will now link up with fellow new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and international team-mates Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato in a star-studded strike force. The 26-year-old moved to Eastlands exactly two years ago on transfer deadline day in an astonishing £32.5million deal from Real Madrid.
But despite the move being seen as a statement of intent from City on the same day they were taken over by the mega-rich Sheikh Mansour, he failed to settle. A decent first season was followed by criticisms over his commitment and Robinho was sent out to Santos in January for the remainder of the season.

Interesting to see when, where and if he plays often. Still he’s used to warming his arse on the bench. He’s joined the other Brazilian has-been Ronaldinho in earning big bucks for playing in a minor league.
