Robinho has stated that he would "love to play for a team like Barcelona" and would find it difficult to decline a chance to play for them.

Marca reports that the Brazilian forward is looking to move to the Nou Camp, and quotes like this might mean the end for the former Real Madrid forward at Eastlands.

"It's not easy to say no to a team like Barcelona," he said.

"They are the European champions. It is a beautiful city and I really like Spain."

The 25-year-old hailed Pep Guardiola's men and admitted that he felt flattered to be linked with the reigning Champions League title holders.

He added, "Barcelona are a great team. I am happy that a club like them have noticed me. Who would not want to play for a club alongside Xavi,  [Andres] Iniesta, [Lionel] Messi, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic and everyone else."

"I like Barcelona; they are a great team."
