Roque Santa Cruz claims Robinho wants to leave Manchester City for Barcelona.

The Brazilian international has been heavily linked with a move to the European Champions for some time, and he has hinted he would like to make the switch.

And despite last week stating he was happy at Eastlands, Robinho is eyeing a move to the Camp Nou in the future according to his Blues team-mate.

"Of course he talks to us about it," Santa Cruz told Catalunya Radio. "And the players are cracking jokes about it in the dressing room.

"In the English papers there's a lot of interest about Barca and Robinho is not hiding his desire to play for them one day. But I guess we'll see. It wouldn't be difficult (for him).”
