Robinho's father adds to speculation over his son

Robinho's father has admitted his son's future at Manchester City is far from certain. The Brazilian forward's father Gilvan da Souza, who is also the player's agent, refused to confirm that his son would be leaving Eastlands, although he did say that there is interest from Barcelona.

"We are waiting for Manchester City to tell us something about the future of my son," he told Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

"I am very aware of what is said and published in Barcelona in relation to my son.

"Until the two clubs do agree and we officially have a decision, we must keep them guessing.

"Robinho is a professional who is bound to City, with whom he has a contract, but if your club (Barca) agrees, the choice is very exciting. Let's see."

"Now it is important to know that Robinho is fully recovered from his injury," da Souza added.

"He has a very important game on the 14th in Qatar with Brazil against England and then on the 17th in Oman.

"These meetings should help strengthen our bid for the World Cup."
