LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor said on Sunday there was a good chance he could be leaving Arsenal to join Barcelona.

"Barcelona have made a good financial offer," Adebayor told the News of the World newspaper. "Yes, I am still under contract to Arsenal but it is up to the directors to satisfy my demands, otherwise I will leave."

Recent media reports have also linked the 24-year-old player with a move to AC Milan but Adebayor made it clear the lure of Spanish soccer was strong.

"You have to take advantage of the moment," he said. "Why not go to Barcelona if the manager there (Pep Guardiola) already has me in his plans.

"That means there is a big chance of seeing me there."
