Coach convinced Robinho to stay at Real

Aug 16, 2008 - 3:03 PM MADRID, Spain (Ticker) -- Coach Bernd Schuster is convinced Robinho will stay with Real Madrid and has again insisted he sees no problem with the Brazilian's attitude despite persistent speculation that he wants to leave the Spanish giants

Robinho's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, recently claimed the winger was "very angry" with the way he feels he has been treated by Madrid and was keen to move to Chelsea, who made a formal offer for the 24-year-old - believed to be in the region of $40 million.

Madrid rejected that bid and insisted Robinho is not for sale, but speculation about the Brazilian's future is still rife in Spain, with contrasting reports about his current situation.

Some reports suggest the player refused to travel to Valencia for the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa on Sunday, while others claim Robinho is ready to stay at the Bernabeu and is about to sign a new, much improved contract.

"Right now I'm sure that Robinho will stay. For me it is not a problem and I'm not going to worry about it because he is going to be our player. It is not a concern," Schuster said.

"At no point has Robinho given the impression that he does not want to go (to Valencia). He is very well. I have spoken with him and the player is in perfect shape."
