Barcelona are continuing their pursuit of Manchester City star Robinho.
El Mundo Deportivo says Barca coach Pep Guardiola is determined to bring Robinho to the Nou Camp - possibly as early as January.
Robinho is excited about Barca's interest and would love to play in the same team as Lionel Messi.
While Barca president Joan Laporta faces an election next year, even if he loses the Brazilian will be pursued as nearest rival Sandro Rosell is close to Robinho through their association with Nike.
