The Togo international may have attempted to nip the rumours in
the bud, but it is believed that his insistance on a pay rise
infuritated the Gunners manager even more, Catalan daily Sport
states.
Wenger plucked Adebayor from Monaco in 2006 and has made him into a
star and is desperately unhappy to see his faith paid back with a
demand for a larger salary,
Barcelona are said to be in the market for a new striker, despite
Samuel Eto'o's claiming he does not want to leave, and Adebayor's
name has been put forward by the media.
The Blaugrana have never stated that they have any interest in the
player, who is currently working for a charity in Africa, but their
name is being used to further his push for a renewed
contract.
While links to Adebayor subside, Barça are still interested in
Aleksandr Hleb, according to Sport, and are monitoring his
situation after it was reported that he was set to quit the Gunners
this summer.
Wenger is believed to have asked his board to make an approach to
sign Diego from Werder Bremen in preparation for the Belorussin's
departure.
Barca again
