Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon travelled to Madrid earlier today in a direct attempt to complete the club's priority transfer of the summer. And it is understood Real will now reluctantly bow to Chelsea and the player's demands should they receive an offer close to their £32 million valuation. "I dream of playing in the Premier League," he revealed. "Chelsea have a great squad, a great team, and they've made an offer that's great for both me and Real Madrid. I have nothing against my current team, to whom I'm very grateful, but at this point my goal is to leave here and I hope that everything will be resolved as soon as possible."
Madrid president Ramon Calderón has refused sell the "non-transferable" player following his failure to lure Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
"The president (Ramon Calderón) said to Robinho that if a 40 million euros offer appears, he would let him leave," said Robinho's outspoken representative, Wagner Ribeiro at the beginning of the week
Furthermore, reports in Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport claim Robinho's imminent Chelsea arrival will signal the departure of Florent Malouda, who is set to join Serie A outfit Roma.
Although Malouda, who only arrived last season from Lyon for £13.5 million, wants to stay at the club, it is believed Scolari favours England international Joe Cole ahead of the France winger in the pecking order and his first team opportunities would be limited this season.
