Barcelona have made an offer to Arsenal for Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor, Spanish newspapers reported Thursday.

The newspaper Sport said Barca had offered 29 million euros (45 million dollars), while the Mundo Deportivo said the club's limit was 25 million.

'For now there is no agreement as the Gunners are asking 30 million for Adebayor while Barca will not go beyond 25,' the Mundo Deportivo said.

Arsenal, which paid Monaco seven million pounds (nine million euros) for Adebayor in January 2006, 'will not let him go easily', said Sport.

'They are asking for 30 million euros to let him leave the Emirates Stadium but Barca are standing firm at 29 and consider that an attractive offer,' it said.

Barcelona's new coach Josep Guardiola said Tuesday the club is seeking a new striker to replace Samuel Eto'o who could complement Thierry Henry and Bojan Krick.

Arsenal are believed to be looking for a replacement for Adeboyer, but last week reportedly froze his transfer to AC Milan.
