Striker Robinho is on the verge of an exit from Brazilian club Santos as Italian team AC Milan is considering a January transfer for the footballer.
The 30-year-old, currently with Santos on loan, will miss the Brazilian team's final match of the season against Vitoria Sunday with a thigh injury, reports Xinhua.
AC Milan are keen to sell Robinho to avoid losing him as a free agent when his contract expires in June 2016.

Earlier this year the forward was strongly linked with a move to new US Major Soccer League outfit Orlando City.
