Milan's Lawyer Pessimistic About Deal For Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor

The Rossoneri's transfer consultant and lawyer has played down the possibility of seeing Adebayor at the San Siro.

Milan lawyer and transfer consultant Leandro Cantamessa is not optimistic about signing Emmanuel Adebayor from Arsenal or Real Madrid's Huntelaar, but the club seems keen on Sevilla ace Luis Fabiano.

The search for a striker continues in Milan after the Edin Dzeko attempt failed. Earlier reports suggest Milan still wanted the Wolfsburg striker, but those links appear to be dead as Cantamessa hinted at Fabiano as first choice, and there was no mention of Dzeko.

"Is the deal for Luis Fabiano going well? It's possible, even though many hypothesised transfers don't always end up being concluded," Canatmessa told Il Corriere Dello Sport.

"I don't know about Huntelaar, while Adebayor is a name which does not make me enthusiastic. In any case Galliani is the one who deals with these things and you should ask him."

Andrea Pirlo has been in Chelsea's sights following Carlo Ancelotti's move there, but it seems the Italian will be staying at the San Siro.

"I would only sell Pirlo if I had the guarantee of finding a direct replacement as he is a very good player," concluded the lawyer.
