Adebayor in Napoli talks

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are said to be in negotiations with ex-Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

According to calcionews24.com, Napoli director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli is in a meeting today with Adebayor’s intermediaries in Italy, Umberto Caramanica and Andrea Di Lella.

Adebayor left Spurs in September, but had already been registered with the club, so will only be able to join another club when the January transfer window opens.

Tottenham are still paying his £100,000-a-week wages and anyone wanting to sign Adebayor must negotiate that situation with the London club.

In that sense, sending him abroad to Napoli could be the ideal solution without reinforcing a Premier League opponent.

The 31-year-old Togo star is said to prefer Chelsea, while Watford – owned by Udinese patrons the Pozzo family – are showing a strong interest.

Napoli beat Inter 2-1 last night to go top of the Serie A table for the first time in 25 years.
