CHELSEA are considering an opening bid of around £18m for Real Madrid star Robinho.
Their interest in the Brazil winger increased last night after Barcelona ace Ronaldinho said he would choose AC Milan ahead of the Blues.
Reports that the Stamford Bridge club have already made an offer of £47.8m have been laughed off by Chelsea officials.
Sunsport understands that there has been one meeting between Robinho’s representatives and Chelsea so far. The 24-year-old currently earns £30,000-per-week at Real and Chelsea have offered him twice that amount.
However, Robinho would prefer to sign a new deal with Madrid but wont do so until he knows the outcome of the club’s pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Brazilian said: "I am very pleased for Wayne that he has committed his future to Chelsea.
"I have been here only a few days but I have seen that he is one of the best professionals at the club. I very much like his playing style."
