Serie A giants AC Milan are set to reignite their interest in Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor by opening negotiations with the Premier League club, with Rossoneri owner Silvio Berlusconi ready to step in should the deal become complicated, according to the Daily Mail.
The Milanese club had tried to lure Togolese International Adebayor away from the Emirates Stadium last summer. It understood that the Gunners demanded £35million for the striker, which caused the interest to bring Adebayor to the San Siro to cool.
Barcelona had also been interested in 25-year-old Adebayor last summer, but also pulled out of the running after meeting with the striker, who is believed to have demanded huge personal terms to leave Arsenal for the Blaugrana.
Now it is said that Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is still keen on recruiting Adebayor to the San Siro, with an offer in the region of €35million being mooted. Ancelotti wants to pair Adebayor with young Brazilian Alexandre Pato and has Berlusconi onside to provide the financial clout if needed.
Under contract at the Emirates until the summer of 2012, having put pen to paper on a new deal at the Gunners last summer. Adebayor has scored 62 goals in 137 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions since his arrival from Ligue 1 side Monaco in 2006.
However, with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani claiming recently that the Rossoneri would not be spending huge sums of money in the summer. It remains to be seen if Ancelotti, will land Adebayor, who is believed to have many fans within the San Siro.
