Manchester City are listening to offers for former Real Madrid winger Robinho.

The Guardian says City have reluctantly taken the decision to listen to offers for Robinho at the end of the season, although boss Mark Hughes is still open-minded and hopes the player will show a greater desire. Failing that, one plan is to offer him as bait to Chelsea in a possible player-plus-money exchange for John Terry despite the England captain's insistence that he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge for the remainder of his career.

City's information is different, Hughes having heard from a number of sources that Terry will listen to what the club's owners have to say. City would be willing to double his current salary and have been encouraged by various messages that have been left for Hughes.
