Manchester City are denying suggestions a deal has already been done for Emmanuel Adebayor to join Juventus on loan in January - but it does seem the striker's days at Eastlands are coming to an end. The £25million capture from Arsenal last year is known to be frustrated at his lack of opportunities and quotes have surfaced indicating he is already sure of leaving the Blues when the transfer window opens.
"Roberto Mancini, I do not know what I did, but he never plays me," Adebayor is reported to have told Belgian magazine Sport/Foot.
"I am going to have a change of scene during the transfer window.
"And I can already tell you that City have reached an agreement with Juventus for a loan. I therefore expect to be able to leave in December."
City are not in a position to know whether the comments are genuine.
However, they have refuted Adebayor's claim that he is on his way to Turin.
