Adebayor says no to Blackburn

Man City striker Emmanuel Adebayor will not join Blackburn. The Togo international striker has been vocal this summer with regards to his future, and admitted he would prefer to move to Real Madrid.

PSG had also been in the race to land the forward, but Adebayor had rejected them too.

"I say thank you to PSG for thinking of me, but for all the respect I owe them, I will not go there," he said.

"At Real, I got a taste for what it's like winning a trophy. I can only go where we play to win a trophy or win the championship and not to play mid-table.

"It is clear that I will not at Zenit or Blackburn.

"I'd like to stay with the merengue. But you know I am a footballer and what is important is to play football whether it's Manchester City or elsewhere.”
