Robinho's house renting could signal a return to Manchester City - report
By Zack Wilson
The Manchester Evening News reports that this could indicate that the star may return to England when his loan spell in Brazil expires in the summer.
With some of his recent public comments, Robinho has appeared to distance himself from a return to City, who are apparently hoping that his loan spell either rejuvenates his form or at least puts their £32.5m signing in the shop window for a potential move away from Eastlands.
However, the MEN reports that the player himself instructed City's player welfare department to sort out the rent on the house for another year, and neither has he sold the £170,000 Lamborghini car he bought after joining City in 2008.
Whether that means fans will see the mercurial Brazilian in a City shirt again remains to be seen.
