Robinho's agent claims the presence of Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge
is tempting the Real Madrid forward to ponder a move to Chelsea.
Reports have recently suggested both the Blues and Manchester United are keen
to lure Robinho away from the Bernabeu.
Chelsea are reported to have made an offer of 60 million euros (£47.8million)
for the 24-year-old, who is upset at his club's plans to include him in a deal
to bring United's Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish capital.
The west London club deny they have bid that amount, but Robinho's agent Wagner
Ribeiro claims an offer for the Brazil international is on the table.
'The Chelsea offer is big, but it's not that big,' Ribeiro said.
Robinho himself has revealed his brief encounter with Scolari at a friendly
game in 2003 made a big impression on him, and that he would relish the chance
to work with his compatriot again.
Ribeiro echoed those comments, and stated his client is 'seriously
considering' a move to London.
He said: 'What's making Robinho seriously consider accepting Chelsea's offer
is that Scolari helped him a lot when he still wasn't very well known in
Europe.
'Scolari called him up to play a game in Basle, between the Friends of Ronaldo
and Friends of Zidane in 2003. Scolari spoke to Robinho and gave him
strength.'
It is believed Madrid are reluctant to let Robinho go until the Ronaldo saga
reaches its conclusion, and the Brazilian himself has claimed to be happy in
Madrid.
But Ribeiro revealed the Spanish champions' inclusion of Robinho in a proposed
swap deal for Ronaldo could have caused permanent damage.
He said: 'In the meeting (with Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen last
week) I said that Robinho was at one of the best clubs in the world, he earns a
good wage and today he's known worldwide because of Real.
'Madrid is one of the best cities in the world to live in. In other words he
has it all.
'The only unpleasant thing is the club's assessment of his value, and he feels
undervalued for having become a part of some trade deal.'
