Santos director Nei Pandolfo has branded AC Milan striker "an idol" at the Brazilian club.
The 28-year-old was strongly linked with a return to Santos this summer, but the former Manchester City striker remained in Italy.
However, Pandolfo has seemingly opened the door for Robinho, with the player himself also discussing the idea of a move.
Pandolfo told ItaSportPress: "Robinho? He's an idol for us."
Meanwhile, Robinho told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I don't know if Santos would really make an offer for me. They were my first side and I have a good feeling with them."
The forward left Santos for Real Madrid in 2005.
