The Brazil international has long been linked with an exit from Madrid, and is believed to be upset with the club directors after they refused to allow him to represent his country in the Beijing Olympics.

On Thursday he denied any rifts with his current employers, but told Brazilian website globoesporte.com: "It's not my objective to continue at Real Madrid. Chelsea have a great squad and a great team. My objective is to play there."

He added: "I have an offer (from Chelsea) which is good for me and the club. I dream of playing in the English league.

"I've got nothing against Real Madrid, but I hope to resolve this situation as soon as possible."

Madrid have publicly insisted they have no intention of selling Robinho, but the player's agent, Wagner Ribeiro claimed on Wednesday that the capital club may be open to a move should Chelsea pay a 40million euro transfer fee.

Robinho insists money is not a factor in his decision to leave.

"It's not about money, I simply want to leave," he said. "I want to be the best player in the world and that isn't possible at Real Madrid."
