Santos vice-president Odilio Rodrigues has revealed that his club are still in negotiations with AC Milan over the transfer of Robinho this month.
Recent reports had suggested that the Brazilian club have pulled out of discussions to sign the 28-year-old forward.
"Robinho is a great player," he told ESPN Brasil. "He is an idol at Santos and the crowd love him.
"But we have always said that these are difficult negotiations because of the cost of the player.
"We are talking with Milan, but we'll have to wait and see what will happen. The deal is complicated."
Robinho played for Santos between 2002 and 2005 and then again on loan in 2010.
