Father: 'Robinho will join Santos in summer'

Robinho's father has dismissed reports linking his son with a move away from AC Milan during the January transfer window.

However, he also said that he is "sure" the Brazilian will seal a move back to boyhood club Santos in the summer.

It has been reported that Robinho had opened talks with Santos, but Gilvan de Souza, who also acts as his son's agent, said that reports are wide of the mark.

"Robinho will not leave Milan," he told UOL Esporte. "He does not want to deceive the fans of other clubs.

"The Rossoneri have already sold other strikers, so they will not let him leave too.

"These stories are only rumours – he will not move from Milan [in January]. I'm sure he will go to Santos in the summer."

Robinho has scored two goals in nine appearances this season.
