Manchester City are looking to sell outcast Robinho to Bundesliga side Schalke 04 in order to finance a move for Benfica defender David Luiz.
According to The Mirror, Schalke have shown an interest in the Brazil international and could pay up to £18 million in order to pair Robinho up with Real Madrid legend Raul, who the club signed this summer.
The German club will participate in the Champions League this season and have enough funds to afford a move for the Brazilian hitman.
Robinho insists that he would prefer to return to Brazil and play for Santos, the club that City loaned him out to last season.
However, City are looking to get some of the £32.5 million fee they paid Real Madrid for Robinho two years ago back this summer.
Benfica have requested £33 million for Brazil international defender Luiz, hoping that City and Chelsea will battle each other in an expensive fight for the star centre-back.
The deal with Schalke will all be up to whether Robinho, who has already played in Spain and England in his career, will accept a move to Germany.
