Barcelona Reach Agreement With Manchester City Star Robinho - Report
The terms and duration of contract have been agreed...
Barcelona have reportedly reached a tentative agreement with Robinho for the duration and terms of contract on a proposed move to Camp Nou from Manchester City, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
Robinho is said to be favouring a straight transfer during the winter window but the Catalan giants prefer a loan-to-buy deal until the end of the current season, picking up the players full wage tab for the remainder of the campaign.
It appears increasingly likely that a deal is to be made during the upcoming transfer window with a meeting reported to be taking place between officials from both clubs this week to thrash out the terms of the transfer.
It is understood that the proposed changes to the 'Beckham Law', increasing the tax rate for foreign players in Spain from 24 per cent to 43 per cent is another driving force behind the desire to seek a swift resolution to the deal. A contract concluded before proposed changes to the law would see the 19 per cent difference saved by the Catalan club.
Robinho is said to be a 'dispensable luxury' now at Eastlands with City manager Mark Hughes' eyes firmly set on landing French star Franck Ribery during the winter window.
