BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Manchester City forward Robinho would reportedly like to play for Barcelona.

The Brazil international, who was linked with the Spanish champions in the offseason, has spent just over a season at Man City.

"Of course, I would like to play at Barcelona. Who wouldn't? We would have a lot of fun," Robinho was quoted as saying in Thursday's El Mundo Deportivo newspaper. "They're an incredible team. I've played against them and I know their quality. But for now I can only play against them in Playstation."

The 25-year-old Robinho has made only three Premier League appearances so far this season due to an ankle injury. He has also played for Real Madrid.

"(An offer) still hasn't arrived. When that's the case, I'll say so," Robinho said. "Now, it wouldn't be right to make any more statements that might be misinterpreted here and (in Spain). I want to make it clear that I have a contract with City and I owe it to them to be professional."
