Robinho is on his way back to Santos on a six-month loan deal. Robinho is hoping this will increase his chances to be a part of Dunca's selection for the World Cup in South Africa this summer.

Santos will assume all of the player's contract terms, including wages and bonuses. Robinho will travel to Brazil on Sunday to begin his loan period.

Robinho joined City in 2008 for a British record transfer fee of 32.5 million pounds (52.87 million U.S. dollars) from Real Madrid.
