Flamengo director of marketing Luiz Eduardo Baptista has revealed they're serious about an effort for AC Milan attacker Robinho.
The Brazilian is also weighing up an offer from Orlando City.
Baptista said: "We are convinced that we can find support from some fans who have always said they were ready to aid the club financially, should the opportunity arise.
"At this moment the opportunity has indeed presented itself. Now it depends on what Plinio Serpa Pinto and Jorge Rodrigues decide to do."
