AC Milan winger Robinho plays down home return

 　　RIO DE JANEIRO, April 4 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan winger Robinho has played down reports of a possible return to Brazilian club Santos.

　　Last month Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro claimed Robinho wanted to re-sign with his former club, saying the move depended on Milan's willingness to release¹ the 28-year-old.

　　But Robinho insisted on Friday he was happy at the San Siro, where he is contracted until 2014.

　　"I know how football is. At this stage of the season there are always exaggerated² rumors," Robinho was reported saying by Lancenet.

　　"The truth is that I am happy in Milan. I'm comfortable and focused towards giving my all for the club."

　　Robinho, a regular starter for Milan in Italy's Serie A, has had two separate spells at Santos. He was part of the team's 2002 and 2004 Brazilian championship-winning teams before returning to help the club secure³ the 2010 Brazilian Cup.
