AC Milan striker Robinho has been in talks with former club Santos over a return to Brazil, the side’s coach Muricy Ramalho has confirmed.
The Rossoneri are mooted as being keen to move the 28-year-old on, due to his hefty salary of around €4M per year.
The former Real Madrid striker does also not appear to have found a place in coach Massimiliano Allegri’s plans for this season.
And with Santos interested, the forward could move back to his homeland in January, something the Brazilian side believe is a concrete possibility.
"We continue to talk with Robinho", admitted Ramalho.
"He is currently experiencing a less successful period and that can be an advantage for us.
"He receives little chance under coach Massimiliano Allegri too, so there is hope for us."
