Manchester City aren't ready to cut loose Brazil World Cup star Robinho.

The Sun says Robinho will be told the door is open for a fresh start at Manchester City.

Talks between his representatives and City officials were due to take place over the future of the British record transfer earlier this week - but have been put back until Wednesday.

And boss Roberto Mancini is ready to offer the £32.5million Brazilian strike star, 26, a clean slate after the World Cup - if he wants to come back.
