Robinho has claimed it would be a "dream" to work with Luiz Felipe Scolari after Chelsea were linked with a move.

Tuesday's Guardian claimed Real Madrid are considering a bid of US$96 million from the Blues.

And Robinho said: "It would be a dream for me to work with Luiz Felipe Scolari, who is one of the best coaches in the world.

"I have always spoken highly of him and he has always spoken very highly of me, since well before he was at Chelsea

"In 2003, when I was unknown in Europe, he called me to play in a charity match. It was brief but it was enough for me to see his style and character."

Robinho's agent has suggested anger at Real's conduct in trying to include him in a deal that would see them sign Cristiano Ronaldo could drive him away.

He said: "Madrid have failed to value him as he deserves and I do not like the fact that they tried to include him in the Ronaldo deal. Money is not the problem for us now.

"What matters for Robinho is to leave the club and play for Scolari at Chelsea."
