As City edge close and closer to a deal to sign Mario Balotelli it seems the way may have been paved for Emmanuel Adebayor to leave Eastlands.
Competition for places is hotting up and Adebayor may no longer be the first choice player that he wants to be. Juventus and Marseille have expressed an interest in the 26 year old Togo international with a view to taking the player on a season long loan.
By September 1st City must name a 25 strong squad of senior players and the big questions are will Balotelli be in and will Adebayor be out?
