Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho decides to sign Emmanuel Adebayor permanently from Manchester City at end of season
Posted Sunday, January 30, 2011 by Goal.com
Emmanuel Adebayor hasn't even started a game for Real Madrid, but Jose Mourinho has already decided to make his stay in the Spanish capital a permanent one.
The Togolese striker, 26, joined Madrid this week on loan until the end of the season from Manchester City.
Madrid confirmed they had a unilateral option with City which allows them to sign him for good at the end of the season.
And it seems those proposals could be taken up by the Spanish club as AS.com claims Mourinho has already decided to keep Adebayor by composing a transfer plan for the summer.
Focus was previously on Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente, but it seems Adebayor's quality and potential could see him overshoot the Spanish striker to stay at the Bernabeu.
However, the reported €16 million (£13.7m) fee, which could rise to €21m (£18m), is considered lofty by Madrid.
