Manchester City are ready to sell Robinho to Barcelona at the end of this season.
The Mail on Sunday says City will let record signing Robinho go to Barcelona in the summer, but he must stay at Eastlands this season to help the club fight for Champions League qualification.
City decided to keep their £34million Brazilian when it became clear they would not be able to sign another marquee name in the January transfer window.
Robinho, 25, will miss today's game at Birmingham, although he is close to returning from a stress fracture of the ankle.
