Tottenham remain determined to offload Emmanuel Adebayor this summer despite a string of public declarations from the forward that he wants to stay.
The Togolese striker has been rampant on social media in recent days, intimating that he is keen to stay at White Hart Lane next season.
Adebayor was a peripheral figure during Mauricio Pochettino's first season at the club, and the Argentine wants to sell the striker ahead of the new campaign in a bid to get his hefty £100,000-per-week salary off the club's wage bill.
Spurs know they'll have to take a hefty financial hit to sell the African this summer.
They are aware it is highly unlikely that another club would be willing to pick up his £100,000-per-week wages, so they're willing to pay a percentage of his salary to facilitate a move.
Chairman Daniel Levy wants £5million for the striker this summer but is likely to accept offers south of that figure to ensure Adebayor's exit.
Adebayor has 12 months left on his deal which will cost Spurs a whopping £5.2m if he stays until the end of next season.
