Arsenal will sell Ade - Bronzetti
Milan scout Ernesto Bronzetti claims that Arsenal have decided they will transfer Emmanuel Adebayor to Barcelona, but the Italian claims that the Rossoneri still have a 50 percent chance of signing the striker.
Adebayor’s future at Emirates Stadium is more doubtful every day, and Bronzetti has confirmed what the Spanish press announced on Friday: Arsenal have reportedly agreed to allow their Togolese striker to reunite with Thierry Henry at Camp Nou.
The FIFA agent has added that Barca president Joan Laporta, currently under fire after two poor seasons, will try to bring the African to Catalonia in order to ensure he is re-elected on July 6.
Nevertheless, Bronzetti assumes that 24-year-old Adebayor will have the final word on which club he plays for next season.
"Let's say we [Milan] have a 50% chance, a lot will depend on the wishes of the player in the end," he told Radio Radio TV.
"Arsenal want to sell him to Barcelona, for their own motives. Barcelona tell me they already have an agreement with the player.
"I only know that the Barcelona president, Laporta, after having been doubted, now wants to shut everyone up by buying a big-name forward."
The chief scout still believes the San Siro outfit can afford to sign Adebayor, as their major competitors Barca have to sell their biggest stars Samuel Eto’o, Deco and Ronaldinho before they put an offer on Arsene Wenger’s table.
"I do know they [Barcelona] won't have the economic means to buy him until they sell Eto'o or Ronaldinho, so I'd advise Milan not to buy either of them or they'll finance the operation of taking Adebayor to Barcelona,” he added.
"(Saying the players weren't needed) was a massive strategic error. Now anyone who wants to buy those players is maybe going to wait until August 29.
"They've spent €57 million (£45 million) already and their finances aren't infinite, so now if wait a bit the price for Ronaldinho and Eto'o will go down." |
