Jose Mourinho's strategy at the end of last season is taking shape with Emmanuel Adebayor, after confirming that the Brazilian team Neymar not reach until the winter break. The Portuguese said Manolito is the third Madrid striker this season with Benzema and Higuain. The main problem was the price. Florentino Pérez is not willing to pay the purchase option agreed with Manchester City after his release in January, amounting to 16 million euros. Too much money for a third front bearing in mind that behind the squad is pushing Morata. But the Portuguese prefer a player before tanning as Togo.

Real Madrid are willing to pay between 8 and 10 million euros maximum per striker.
Adebayor has a great lineup from his former teammates, which was won by her sympathy. The Togolese visited the Real Madrid dressing room to mark the friendly played in Leicester and at the entrance to greet his former teammates they have devoted a standing ovation. Then I met with Mourinho, who surely asked patience because he wants the team for the season ahead. By then the signing of Neymar still in the air, since the Portuguese and wanted him to join the team. But the Brazilian will not arrive until December and that opens the door to Adebayor.
