Mourinho: Adebayor 'closer' to Madrid

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho claims he is closer to signing Emmanuel Adebayor than Neymar or Sergio Aguero.

The Portuguese has revealed his plans to bring a new striker to the Santiago Bernabeu before the start of the season to compliment Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain.
Two striker who are heavily linked to the Los Blancos are Santos' Neymar and Juventus' Aguero.
But Mourinho has admitted there's a stronger likelihood he will sign Adebayor, who enjoyed a fruitful spell with Madrid on loan from Manchester City last season.
"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."
Madrid are set for a reunion with David Beckham when they play LA Galaxy in the World Football Challenge on Saturday, July 16.
And Mourinho has explained why he chose the United States as location for the pre-season training camp.
"I like the freedom of the United States for my players. In Europe, they cannot go out for a walk," he noted.
