Adriano Galliani says Milan have
put a move for Emmanuel Adebayor on hold amid reports the club are
close to signing Ronaldinho.
Arsenal striker Adebayor has been a leading target for Milan,
with Barcelona also having shown an interest in the Togo
international.
Milan vice-president Galliani has consistently stated that
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's demands for Adebayor are too
expensive.
And Galliani has now suggested the Italian giants will end their
interest in bringing Adebayor to the San Siro.
"We've stopped dealing with Wenger and have to reconfirm that up
to now Milan has above all important sacrifices to make in
negotiations with its current players, starting with Kaka,"
Galliani told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian newspaper also claims that Milan are on the brink of
finalising a deal to sign Ronaldinho from Barcelona.
Reports suggest a fee has been agreed between the two clubs and
that the Brazilian will sign a two-year contract with Milan.
Galliani has previously said that the club would sign either
Ronaldinho or Adebayor, which could now lead to the latter staying
at the Emirates Stadium.
Ronaldinho had also been wanted by Manchester City, but his
preference has been to secure a move to Carlo Ancelotti's Milan
side.
