Olympique Marseille are keen to open talks with Manchester City for winger Robinho.

Robinho has been rewarded for his form on-loan at Santos with a place in Brazil's World Cup squad - and is reluctant to return to City next season.

Direct Sport says Marseille coach Didier Deschamps is keen to bring Robinho to France and the French giants hope to discuss a loan agreement with City before the World Cup.
