"It's Ronaldinho"- Galliani

"It's Ronaldinho"- Galliani


Emmanuel Adebayor's future at Arsenal had been hanging in the balance in the last few days, and Galliani have commented that the club cannot afford both Ronaldinho and Ade.

The latest transfer saga linking Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor to AC Milan has taken another twist after the latest press conference given by Galliani.

The AC Milan chief executive informed the press that Adebayor deal would fall through if Ronaldinho agrees a switch to Milan.

"It's Ronaldinho or Adebayor. Buying one excludes taking the other."

The latest rumours suggests that Milan are cooling down their interest in Adebayor as coach Carlo Ancelotti favours the signing of Brazilian star Ronaldinho. Galliani confirmed this in the press conference by stating,

"There is a 'yes' from coach Carlo Ancelotti to go for the Brazilian."

Although Ronaldinho had a poor season with Barcelona, the fact that he is one of the best entertainers and popular man in world football is an added advantage to Milan. The two time world player of the year would surely cost more than Adebayor, though the returns he can ensure will be much more than his Togolese counterpart can.

Meanwhile, a perplexed Adebayor said that he will decide about his future by next week.

"I have a three-year contract with Arsenal but I do have a lot of clubs interested in me. I will decide next week." said the striker.
