In December, a court in Milan sentenced Robinho to nine years in prison for an alleged incident of group sexual assault on a 22-year-old woman involving five other men in January 2013.
The 33-year-old, who played for AC Milan between 2010 and 2014, entered a not-guilty plea and denies the charges, with the case likely to be the subject of a lengthy legal process in Italy.
