Real Madrid striker Robinho is still hopeful of being able to link up with Chelsea before the transfer window slams shut on Monday evening.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is adamant that he wants to move on, but reports in Spain have suggested that the deal may be dead after a 30million euros bid from the Blues was rejected.

ROBINHO

Robinho told GloboSport: "I have a contract with Real Madrid now, but we are still negotiating with Chelsea.

"A lot of things are being published and they are not the truth. It is not true that I said that I was going to apologise (for my conduct) to the press.

"We are working to seal my future, nothing else."

Chelsea head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari had earlier refused to be draw on whether a deal for Robinho could be completed in the next few days.

He told reporters: "I don't know about Robinho because it is not my job to enter into talks about players.

"I said something to (chief executive) Peter Kenyon a month ago and they tried to bring Robinho here, but my job is on the pitch.

"If they can bring him here it will be down to board meetings and I have to think about Tottenham, not about whether players have come or have not come.

"I don't know anything because I have not spoken to Peter for the last two days."
