Milan striker Robinho says that he is enjoying life in Italy after a unsettled spell in England with Manchester City, and went on to state that he would like to potentially end his career with the Rossoneri.
The Brazilian forward has helped propel the Diavolo to the summit of Serie A this season, making a fearsome attacking line-up alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"In Milan I like my fellow countrymen," Robinho told Corriere dello Sport. "I have a great team, and [Gennaro] Gattuso explained that this represents what the club Milan is.
"I feel happy here and want to stay in Milan for ten seasons and then retire at the age of 36."
Meanwhile, Robinho has told the British press that he informed fellow Brazilian Kaka not to join his former club Manchester City, after his torrid spell at the club. In the end the former Rossoneri playmaker went on to join Real Madrid.
"I told him what it was like to live in Manchester; that it is cold, it always rains and offers little," Robinho was quoted by English newspaper, The Independent.
Recent reports point towards Mario Balotelli also being unsettled at Eastlands and wanting to leave, and Robinho believes that the Italian is likely to get his way.
He said: "I do not think [he will stay long in Manchester]."
