Manchester City have told Emmanuel Adebayor they will not give him a pay off in order to finally seal his move to Tottenham. Adebayor is currently locked in negotiations with Spurs over a return to White Hart Lane, after the club agreed a £5 million fee with City for the striker, who scored 20 goals whilst on loan in north London last season. However, the deal has stalled over Adebayor's refusal to accept a cut to his current £175,000-a-week wages, which were part subsidised by City last season. Adebayor is willing to accept Spurs' £100,000-a-week offer, but only if City make up the loss by handing a chunk of the transfer fee directly to him. However, City boss Mancini is no mood for charity. It's a tough talking stance that appears to be working, with Adebayor ready to hold further talks with Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas in the next 48 hours, in a bid to find an agreement that works for everybody. Adebayor, who is also attracting interest from several Russia clubs, is expected to sign a four-year-deal with Spurs.
