Real Madrid have opened new contract talks with Robinho's representatives.

The Brazilian winger's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, and his father, Gilvan de Souza, have met with Real sports director Pedja Mijatovic to begin negotiations over a new six-year deal.

Robinho's current deal runs to 2010 and with a new Spanish passport set to arrive this year, Real are eager to tie him down to a new, improved long-term agreement.
