Milan are '£3m from Adebayor' Wednesday 25 June, 2008

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

Reports suggest that just £3m now separates Arsenal marksman Emmanuel Adebayor from a move to Milan.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani’s painstaking search for a new striker to add to Alexandre Pato has narrowed to just one name – Adebayor.

And despite Arsenal’s initial reluctance to sell the Togolese star, it seems that the player’s determination to join the Diavolo will prove decisive.

Reports suggest that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has resigned himself to losing Adebayor and that the London club are close to agreeing a fee with Milan.

According to Mediaset, Arsenal are demanding £31m for the immediate completion of the deal, while Milan’s current offer is around £28m – a difference that can easily be resolved.

Barcelona had been favourites to lure Adebayor after reportedly tabling a £25m bid, but Adebayor is determined to play in Serie A rather than La Liga.

Totally agree. IMO he's worth about £15m and no more, for £25m we could get Berbatov or Drogba. Still, Leonardo has spotted something in him and leonardo doesn't usually disappoint (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

What are you guys Milan's investment partners. Personally I can care less about how profitable they are. I just want to see improvements on the pitch.

Drogba= a couple years from his prime and a larger price tag than Ade. We are dealing with Chelsea who will spend as much money as they want
Would he work- Yes. But he has never indicated he wants to come to Milan and Chelsea do not want to sell him unless Milan want to break the b

Ade- He is younger and has the potential to be a Drogba, from last season we can see that he has developed into a special forward
-The attributes that we need YOUTH, POWER, and SKILL

If we are going to break the bank I say focus on a player who has 5-6 years of top level play in him. Drogba and Ronaldinho may have had their best years behind them.
