Galliani: Adebayor or nothing Thursday 19 June, 2008

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

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has revealed that the Rossoneri’s striking short list has been reduced to just one name – Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Rossoneri are in dire need of a big-name attacking addition to pair with Brazilian starlet Alexandre Pato.

A number of stars have been linked with the Diavolo, including Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, Mario Gomez, Andriy Shevchenko and Dimitar Berbatov, but only one man still seems to be a realistic possibility.

“There is only one course of negotiations in progress and that is for Adebayor,” Galliani explained.

“There are no talks for Drogba or even Eto’o. Milan are absolutely ruling out those possibilities – it’s Adebayor or we will stay as we are.

“The deal depends on Arsenal. The player is under contract and at the moment they are saying no.

“Anything could happen, but at the moment I have a letter from Arsenal saying that they aren’t ready to negotiate.

“Nonetheless, this is already a Milan squad capable of winning the Scudetto and we have already brought back a 19-goal striker in Marco Borriello.”
