Emmanuel Adebayor is ready to leave Manchester City.

The striker is ready to move on if there is an offer for him before 31 August as he fears spending a large part of the season on the substitutes' bench if he stays.

"If you're in a team and you're not playing, and there is a team that comes in for me, then I will definitely be on my way out because I'm a footballer and I love playing," he told talkSPORT.

"So if I don't have a chance to play here there will [be] a lot of chance to play somewhere else. If they [Manchester City] force you out then you always have to follow your destiny."

The striker was speaking after City's 2-0 win over Timisoara in the Europa League last night and is not the first of Roberto Mancini's players to voice concern over playing time.
