RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian striker Robinho is set to join Turkish side Sivasspor, a month after parting ways with Atletico Mineiro.

The 33-year-old has agreed to terms with the Super Lig club and is expected to sign a contract in Sivas on Tuesday.

"The Brazilian striker Robinho, whom we have been seeing for a long time and who we have agreed to in principle, will be in Sivas tomorrow," Sivasspor said in a statement.

"After the final negotiations, he will sign a formal contract with us."

In November, an Italian court found Robinho guilty of participating in the 2013 gang rape of a woman in Milan.

The former Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan forward pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The sentence remains suspended pending the outcome of an appeal process. Enditem
