Spurs are continuing to pay him £100,000-per-week while Manchester City are supplementing that by £75,000-per-week, as part of the deal agreed when he transferred between the clubs in 2012.
NaijaSportsXtra sourced from Dailymail of the UK that, unless Adebayor finds a new club, he will pick up £5.25million between now and the end of his Tottenham contract which ends on June 30 next year.
The striker was released by Tottenham in September after not being included in their Premier League or Europa League squads.Manager Mauricio Pochettino made the decision at the end of last season that he no longer wanted the player at the club.
The 31-year-old surprised Spurs coaches when he was offered the opportunity to continue training with the first team but opted to attend sessions with the younger squads instead.
Adebayor had the option to move to West Ham on transfer deadline day, but refused to leave Spurs, who were willing to pay a percentage of his wages, unless they paid him £5m.
Since being released by the club, he has been spending time in Togo and Ghana, happily picking up his wages while posting pictures of himself lounging by pools or posing sat atop classic cars.
‘I figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it,’ he wrote underneath one image. He is certainly doing that.
