AC Milan attacker Robinho expects to sign permanently with Santos.

Robinho still has over a year to run on his Milan deal.

Marisa Ramos, the lawyer for Robinho, declared: "Nothing has been defined with Santos, but I do not think that the player can come back to Milan. The possible solution is an agreement for an additional year of loan until the expiry of the contract that will be next season.

"We have not met with Milan, but this is a possibility. The other is to assess the foreign market and Robinho could attract other teams interested in him."
