Baku, August 31 (AZERTAC). Manchester City striker Robinho has moved to AC Milan after signing a four-year deal at the Serie A club, according to the BBC.

The Brazil international had a medical with the San Siro side on Tuesday but a fee has yet to be announced.

A statement on the AC Milan official website read: “AC Milan announces it has acquired Robinho on a permanent deal from Manchester City.”

The 26-year-old joined Manchester City for a British record fee of £32.5m from Real Madrid in the summer of 2008.

The former-Santos player arrived at Eastlands in dramatic fashion on the final day of the transfer window, on the first day of owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan`s reign at the club.

However, the playmaker struggled to make an impact at the Eastlands outfit and was loaned to Brazilian side Santos in January 2010.
