The pair have been linked with switches to the San Siro this summer, with Galliani claiming Arsenal have sent him a letter saying they are willing to discuss a deal for Adebayor but remaining tight-lipped regarding Barcelona's Ronaldinho.

"Let's be clear about this: Adebayor is the alternative to Ronaldinho and vice-versa," Galliani said in a statement on the club's official website.

"We consider Kaka and (Alexandre) Pato first-team players. Having two players of the calibre of Adebayor and Ronaldinho would create a lot of problems in the dressing room."

Adebayor, who scored 30 goals in 48 games for Arsenal last season, appears to be Galliani's first choice.

"If Adebayor decides to leave Arsenal, we are certainly interested," he said on Tuesday.

"The English club have told us they are available to be contacted to negotiate for the player. This is a step forward, but the road is still long."
