According to sections
of the Italian media, the towering Togo forward has agreed to join AC
Milan, and all that is required to complete the deal is for the
Rossoneri to meet the Gunners' €40m asking price.
Utter
nonsense, insisted the 24-year-old, who has consistently proclaimed
that he has absolutely no intention to leave the Emirates in the summer.
"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," he said.
"I love the club and the fans.
"We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit.
"We have had a good season, but next year we want to go one better by winning a trophy."
sian.... wenger should jz cut price sell him off for 20m pounds...
Milan have been after the player for a while and they were
impressed when Adebayor played against them in the Champions League earlier
this year.
The Rossoneri have been linked with the Gunner’s hit-man and it
seems as if they are favourites to sign him even though Arsenal are playing
hardball.
Adriano Galliani met with
Adebayor’s agent Stephane Courbis on Tuesday night and it seems as if Milan
have reached an agreement over the player’s personal terms as they try and tempt him to dance and jig all the way to San Siro.
Milan will now have to make a formal request to Arsenal to
try and prize the hit-man away from the Emirates stadium and reports suggest Milan are willing to offer €30m.
Galliani already managed to
take Mathieu Flamini from the Gunners and it is likely that he will do the same
with Adebayor.
Adebayor recently revealed
that Arsenal should increase wages and give players what they want.
However,
the club’s reluctance to do this has seen a few players leave, Flamini and Alexander
Hleb are such examples and Adebayor could follow suit.
the last sentence is quite true.
Milan are well known to be in the market for a top class
centre forward, and a few weeks ago Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced that the
club would be signing one out of Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba, Adebayor or Amauri.
While Amauri has since joined Juventus, Milan have continued
their pursuit of the other three targets, and over the past week or so there
have been reports in the media that Adebayor has already agreed personal terms
with the Rossoneri, and that all that is required to complete the move is for a
transfer fee to be agreed with The Gunners.
Arsenal are determined not to sell Adebayor, having already
lost Mathieu Flamini to Milan, and with Aliaksandr Hleb set to follow him out
of the exit door, possibly to Barcelona.
However Adebayor has his heart set on a move to Milan, and has told his
agent Stephane Courbis to
demand to Arsenal that he be sold.
Adebayor contract at the Emirates runs until 2010, but his demands for an
increase to his £2m-per-year wages have been ignored.
The
24-year-old impressed against Milan
in the Champions League tie last season, scoring for Arsenal in the 2-0 win at
San Siro.
jz let him join milan.... for players like adebayor, sell when u can get $$$...
