Robinho's expected transfer to Real Madrid could be completed soon according to Real's director of football Emilio Butragueño. Robinho's club Santos didn't really wanted to sell but Butragueño is now confident he will get his man.

"I am very confident that the Robinho deal will be finalised soon" stated Butragueño in Spanish daily Marca. The Brazilian striker would love to sign for Real as he stated before "This would be a dream come true for me".

It seems that Santos are now prepared to sell Robinho, but if Real need to rise their bid again is unknown yet.

Meanwhile Inter talks with Real defender Walter Samual has stalled. Butragueño stated: "there will be a solution soon".
