Mourinho eye Adebayor signing

Madrid, July 13 (bdnews24.com) ? Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has admitted that the club are more likely to sign Emmanuel Adebayor than Neymar or Sergio Aguero.

The Portuguese tactician officially opened the race for a new striker on Monday by affirming that he is looking to add some more firepower to his squad, , reports Goal.com

Neymar and Aguero have both been strongly tipped to join the club in the summer, but Mourinho revealed that it is Adebayor, who spent the second half of the last season on loan with the capital giants, who is the closest to reinforcing his side.

"Neymar is a Santos player, Aguero belongs to Atletico Madrid... Adebayor is at Manchester City, but perhaps he is closer because he was our player for six months," Mourinho said at a press conference.

"We should not be very distant from those names, but I am calm because we have a fantastic squad and we are in a very good situation."

Mourinho, who noted his players are 'physically dead' following their first training session, explained the reason he chose the United States as location for the preseason training camp.

"I like the freedom of the United States for my players. In Europe, they cannot go out for a walk," he noted.

Madrid will play David Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy in the World Football Challenge on Saturday, July 16.
