Robinho heads home to Santos

Thu 28th, January 2010

Manchester, England (Sports Network) - Brazilian ace Robinho has completed his move away from Manchester City by signing for Santos on an initial six-month loan deal.

The 26-year-old forward joined the Citizens in the summer of 2008 from Real Madrid for a British record fee of $53 million, but has struggled to make his mark in England.

He had previously moved to Europe from Santos in the summer of 2005, but decided to leave the Bernabeu after three seasons with the Spanish giants.

In total he has scored 16 times in 53 appearances for City, but only one of those strikes has come this season.

"Robinho is someone who needs to be playing regularly and we wish him well for the period of his loan," City manager Roberto Mancini told the club's official website.

Robinho had previously told Brazilian TV network Globo: "Santos want a year but City want just six months.

"Here Mancini said that I would play one game and another no. I didn't accept that and told him so. It's a World Cup year.

"The directors all agree that it's better to send me out on loan. It would be exceptional to return to Santos.

"Playing for Santos would help me in my path to the World Cup. It is my home, I know everyone."
