The Brazil international has long been courted by the London club but a deal remains up in the air with the transfer window set to end at midnight on Monday.

"The situation is still the same - I want to play for Chelsea, as I have told the president [Ramon Calderon], the coach and the sporting director [Predrag Mijatovic]." said Robinho.

He added: "I want to play there - I don't know what more I can do.

"Calderon said that if a good offer came in they would let me go. Chelsea have made a great effort to sign me."

When asked whether he would refuse to play for Bernd Schuster should a move to the Blues fail to materialise, Robinho said: "No. If Schuster wants to keep an unhappy player then the responsibility is his."

He added that his frustration with Madrid had been intensified by their reluctance to offer him new deal while they still harboured hopes of signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

"Since May I've been trying to renew my contract but they didn't want to because they were so sure they would sign Cristiano Ronaldo," he said.

"Now, because they haven't signed anyone, they won't let me go."
