Barcelona have delayed talks over a deal for Manchester City winger Robinho.

Negotiations over Robinho moving from Manchester City to Barcelona could be put off till Sunday or Monday, reports El Mundo Deportivo.

Some reports in Spain said there would be a summit between Barca president Joan Laporta and City owner Sheik Mansour in Abu Dhabi yesterday, but the meeting did not take place. Barca are in the region for the Club World Cup, but a bid to take Robinho on loan for the rest of the season looks set to fail.
