Raiola key to AC Milan beating Barcelona for Man City winger Robinho
AC Milan will wrap up the signing of Manchester City winger Robinho today.
Telelombardia says Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent, Mino Raiola, has been key in negotiations for Robinho, who was also wanted by Barcelona.
Milan have used Raiola's good relationship City, which saw him place former Inter striker Mario Balotelli at Eastlands this summer, to clinch an agreement for Robinho.
The Rossoneri have waited until the final hours of the market to move for the Brazil international in order to get the best possible deal.
Raiola will represent Milan in final negotiations in England today. He is confident of leaving England tonight with Robinho, who will undergo a medical at the San Siro tomorrow with contracts signed.

TO ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKING BARCA FANS
stop ***** hating just because ur god "pep" who is going to get ***** taken in the ass by mourinho this season, could not get the best out of ibra. he didnt even communicate with him ffs. and btw barca decided not to get robinho becuz they got mash, they only wanted to add 1 more player to their books...they cudnt even get fabregas
and i ***** hope we get u arrogant debt filled ***** in the champions league.... with a moron like rosell who sold a player they paid over 60m euros for to galliani for 24m euros, paid over 3 yrs as well hahah.
even if ibra flops at milan, which he wont cuz well, hes ibra for gods sake...we can just send him back to barca to ***** pique in the ass
just pray that u dont cross our path, or the fate that will befall u wont be pretty
hi,
The captains of Barça, Xavi and Puyol, voted against Robinho coming into the team months ago. Pep also decided against it, and Barça never made any sort of approach. So this article is simply in accurate. Congrats to Milan in acquiring the Skillful Brasilian.
Best regards
Jordi
good job milano that is fantastic news for the whole club.
