Emmanuel Adebayor has threatened to quit Arsenal if his wage demands are not met after revealing strong interest from Barcelona.However, what is clear is that Adebayor will give the Gunners the first chance to secure his services - but only if they pay his reported demands of £120,000 which appears unlikely given the north Londoners' wage structure.
The 24-year-old told the News of the World: "Milan are a big club but the fact they are not playing in the Champions League next season is less of a challenge.
"Barcelona have made a good financial offer and there is also the chance to play alongside great players."
Adebayor added: "Yes, I am still under contract to Arsenal but it's up to the directors to satisfy my demands or I'll leave. If my good form of last season has increased my value, my employers have to take account of that.
"I have to prepare for my retirement. Even if you are not scoring fine goals and you have money, you can enjoy a happy retirement.
"The time for preparing for that moment is now."
