Chelsea have made it clear that they are willing to pay him €6m-per-year and have made two bids, but Madrid will not sell until they have bought a new player and that has infuriated Robinho.
"I have told Schuster and Pedja that I want to leave the club," Robinho told reporters.
"My agent has gone to the club a thousand times to speak to them and the club has not shown any interest in keeping me.
"Now that the club have failed to sign anyone else, suddenly they want me to stay."
The one option that the former Santos star now has is to buy out his own contract and then move to Stamford Bridge, but with the price of that move costing €50m Chelsea are weighing up their options.
