Agent: Milan can’t afford Ade

(GSM) – Emmanuel Adebayor’s agent has claimed that Serie A giants Milan can no longer afford to buy his client, having been strongly linked with the club before he chose to join Man City.

Adebayor was linked with a £30 million move to the San Siro before heading to Eastlands for slightly less and Milan have again been reported to be keeping tabs on the striker.

However, Stephane Courbis claims that the player is now out of the reach of Milan.

“The player has signed a five-year contract with Manchester City and was an expensive purchase,” he told Tuttomercato.

“He has a high wages that do not fall within the parameters of AC Milan, moreover, he is dong quite well [in Manchester]. The trains only pass in football once, Adebayor was close to Milan two years ago, but not any more.

“Manchester City paid almost £28 million, they do not intend to sell him and these days Milan are not interested in players that cost that much.

“They are trying to sign players on a free [transfer] or within specific figures. This hypothesis [Adebayor to Milan] is impossible.”
