Milan: Adebayor Is Too Expensive

Tue 08 Jul, 01:09 PM


AC Milan's hopes of signing Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor this summer appear to be fading after the two clubs failed to agree a fee.

The 24-year-old is one of the main targets of the Rossoneri, along with Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o, as the club look for a world-class frontman.

But AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed the Italians are unwilling to match what Arsenal are demanding for the Togo international, with reports suggesting the Gunners want 45million euros (£36million).

"I have had contact with (Arsenal manager Arsene) Wenger and right now we are divided on an important difference in terms of value of the player," Galliani said.

Of his two striking targets, he added: "They are both great forwards. But they could both remain where they are."

  1. Abe is very good striker,so that Arsene choice him instead of Christano Ronaldo long time ago before Ronaldo had been joined Man UTD. Abe is deserved to got all that money.
    Milan should arrange the money required by Arsenal if he want come back to champion league or serie A champion.

  3. Adebayor Worth what Arsenal demands. He is a good finisher. He can influence in all directions in a game. He is so good. Thats will be a free gift to Ac Milan. Combined with Kaka, Ac Milian will be on top of the league an it will win more trophies. Hurry Ac Milans. Thank you.

  5. ADEBAYOUR is worth what ARSENAL are asking , if MILAN want a first class striker then they have to put the money on the table, otherwise let them go look for some ageing striker like LARSEEN, or if they can pay a little less say a 40 million dollars for 'The Beast' Baptista. He is playing very well. Peter ARIGBE

  6. SEUN the whole point Milan want to buy Adebayor is to strengthen their attack power, and there's no point in selling their best 2 players to buy another one. If milan buy Ade and sell Kaka and Pirlo they will be weaker so there's no point. If they don't buy him they're still good. They have Pato and Borrielo in attack (Borrielo scored 18 goals in Serie A last year with a weak team Genoa) and with Kaka behind them and Pirlo and Seedorf in midfield they're good

  7. Adebayor is horseshit so why would anybody buy him for the cash Wingebag is quoting??? If they get half the asking price the London bridesmaids should flog this one-season wonder.

  8. Why is Milan disturbing themselves?It's so obvious Arsenal will never sell Adebayor to them.Whenever Milan comes knocking 4 him,then Arsenal increases it's price,So why not sell KAKA & PIRLO to chelsea or whoever then either come for Ade-money or come to Nigerian league and pack them for penauts.Sorry Galliani.Adieu Milan.Kay'b,lagos island.Nigeria.
