Arsene Wenger has indicated AC Milan would receive
short shrift if they were to make an offer for Arsenal's star
striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani confirmed on
Friday the Togo forward, along with Chelsea's Didier Drogba and
Tottenham star Dimitar Berbatov, is one of their key targets this
summer.
Wenger is determined to hang on to Adebayor, who signed a new
long-term deal last year, following the departure of Mathieu
Flamini to Milan, while Alexander Hleb has also repeatedly been
linked with a move away.
"If AC Milan are interested they just have to call me and get
the answer they deserve," Wenger said.
The Gunners boss also insisted much-admired Spanish midfielder
Cesc Fabregas will not be leaving the Emirates, adding: "Fabregas
will be at Arsenal next season, that looks obvious to me."
Arsenal's hopes of wrestling the Premier League title away from
Manchester United could be boosted if Cristiano Ronaldo does move
to Real Madrid.
And Wenger admitted it would be a blow to United if Madrid
succeed in getting their man.
He said: "It depends if Manchester United want to sell him or
not. He is under contract. In the modern game it is good that any
player can go anywhere, but to be successful as a club you need
stability."
Wenger has been reluctant to spend big money on transfers,
preferring to bring in promising youngsters, but he is preparing to
run his eye over the best Europe has to offer at the European
Championships, which start on Saturday.
Asked if he would be looking at players in Euro 2008, Wenger
added: "Any player, I'm here with my chequebook. I don't rule
anything out, I can fall in love with any player."
