Adebayor can't resist Milan Saturday 14 June, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emmanuel Adebayor’s Rossoneri move is back on after his agent confessed, “it’s difficult to turn down Milan.”

General manager Adriano Galliani has publicly named the Arsenal striker as the primary transfer target.

Although he said he was happy at the Emirates, agent Stephane Courbis painted a different picture.

“It is difficult to say if Emmanuel will play for Milan,” he told Italian station Radio Radio TV.

“I know the club has been in contact with Arsenal and now it all depends on the intentions of the English side.

“Milan are a great club, among the best in the world, and when a team like that wants to buy you, you have to think about it very carefully.

“There has to be an agreement between the two clubs. Adebayor is happy at Arsenal, but when a player is tracked by Milan, it is difficult to turn them down.”

The comments are pennies from Heaven for Galliani, who is finding it very difficult to tempt a world class striker to San Siro after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger still has no intention of parting with the Togo international for less than £30m, but Adebayor’s manager is putting a cat among the pigeons.

After all, Milan have already tempted Mathieu Flamini across to Serie A in an out-of-contract swoop.
