Real Madrid reacted angrily to Robinho's renewed calls for them to stop blocking his move to Chelsea, hitting out at the player and the Premier League club.
The Spanish champions' statement came swiftly after the Brazil forward Robinho held a news conference in a Madrid hotel to state his case again, with little over 24 hours remaining before the end of the transfer window.
"The club refers to an earlier statement on this matter, when it said if the player's final decision was to unilaterally rescind his contract, we would have no option but to accept it," Real said on their website.
"Real deplore the way Chelsea's directors have acted despite knowing perfectly well the decision not to sell the player, making statements and even going so far as to sell shirts with the player's name on through their official website."
Earlier, Robinho spoke at a chaotic news conference, saying: "The situation has not changed. I want to leave Real and play for Chelsea. I am only thinking of Chelsea.
"Since May I have been trying to renew my contract but they didn't want to know because they were so sure of signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Now they haven't signed anyone they don't want me to go."
