Brazilian side Santos have insisted no bid has been tabled by PSV Eindhoven for Robinho.

PSV have been linked with a whole host of South American talents in recent weeks and the fire was fuelled recently when coach Guus Hiddink headed to the region on a holiday.

He held talks with a number of clubs on a range of subjects and the media suggested Robinho was the topic on the agenda with Santos.

Santos, though, have played down the prospect of the Chelsea target leaving before the 2006 World Cup.

“There isn’t any official offer,” said Santos president Marcelo Texeira.

“Of course there is always interest because Robinho is a very good player but at the moment he only has his mind on the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Sudamericana.

“I am sure that we are not going to negotiate in this moment for Robinho.

“We have renewed Robinho’s contract until 2008 because we are grateful for what he is giving to this club and we expect to count on him in 2005 as well.

“It is clear that we can’t compete with a European offer but I can assure all that at the moment there isn’t any official offer for him.

“We had a conversation with the player and he is calm.”
