Galliani - Robinho staying put - Italian club spurn offer from Brazil for forward

Robinho: Staying at Milan, according to Galliani

Robinho will stay at AC Milan after the Serie A giants rejected an offer from a Brazilian club, according to vice-president Adriano Galliani.

The Brazilian forward has been heavily linked with a return to native club Santos, where he began his career.

He left the club for Real Madrid in 2005 but returned on a loan spell from Manchester City two years ago.

A third stint at Santos had appeared an option for Robinho but Galliani says the Italian giants have spurned interest from Brazil and insists the 28-year-old will remain at the San Siro.

He told Estadao ESPN: "Robinho received an offer from Brazil, but he will remain at Milan and be one of the five forwards in our squad."
