According to the Daily Mail Tottenham chairman Daniel Levey was hoping to sell Adebayor to the Spanish club as part of the deal that is being negotiated for Bale. The article reveals that Adebayor was offered by Levy to Perez when the two men met earlier this week to discuss a possible transfer of the Welsh forward. It appears that Spurs want to get rid of Adebayor and were therefore prepared to throw him into a deal for another player. The same article reveals that Adebayor is currently on leave from Tottenham as he is attending the funeral of his brother. However, it is reported that Togo international may not return to White Hart Lane due to his relationship with manager Villas-Boas having deteriorated significantly since the end of last season. However, despite rumours that Adebayor will quit Tottenham this summer he has featured in Tottenham’s pre-season matches. The striker played in the 0-0 draw at Colchester and was also present in Hong Kong when Tottenham lost 3-1 to Sunderland.
