Barcelona Raise The Stakes With Adebayor On The Line!

Arsenal are considering whether to accept Barcelona's improved £30 million bid for Emmanuel Adebayor.

Arsenal, who last week rejected a £24 million bid from the Spanish club, have conceded the Togolese striker can leave for the right price.

£30 million for Adebayor,are you kidding me?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be disappointed to lose Adebayor, who scored 30 goals in all competitions last season.

But the blow will be softened by a substantial profit margin for a player who cost them £4.2 million when they bought him from Monaco,18 months ago.

Adebayor is unhappy with his salary of £35,000 week at the Emirates stadium and has been seeking a more lucrative contract.

Apparently Arsenal were prepared to improve Adebayor's deal before the relationship became fractious, with Adebayor doing much of his talking through the media.

AC Milan were the first club to pursue Adebayor, but the Italian giants eventually admitted they couldn't afford the 24-year-old forward.

Arsenal are said to be lining up Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz as a possible replacement should Adebayor leave.
