Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been told to take a 50 per cent wage cut if he wants to secure a January move to Juventus.

The Serie A outfit want to land Adebayor on loan with a view to a permanent deal, but will not match his £4m-a-year wages, says the Daily Star.

The sulking Togo striker wants to quit Eastlands, but will have to take a hit in the pocket to secure a switch to Juve.

The two clubs clash in the Europa League next month when talks will take place aimed at thrashing out a possible deal.
