Adebayor recently rejected claims he was ready to follow Mathieu Flamini, who has agreed to join AC Milan on a free transfer, out of the Emirates Stadium unless he was handed a new bumper contract.

But with Barca planning a wholesale change in their squad following a second successive season without silverware, the Catalan giants are reportedly ready to table a bid for the 24-year-old.

"That pleases me," Adebayor told French daily L'Equipe after playing for a UNICEF team in a charity match in Seville.

"It's very flattering for a young Togolese who's only 24 to see that Barcelona or AC Milan are following him.

"But for the moment I'm very happy at Arsenal. We'll see what happens next."
