Much was made of Blackpool's announcement on Wednesday that they had activated an option on Charlie Adam's contract to extend his commitment to them for another year but it's unlikely that the highly-rated midfielder will be following the Seasiders into the Championship.
When Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham attempted to force Ian Holloway's hand in January, he said that he would find it much tougher to keep the Scotland international in the summer as by that stage he will only be signed up for 12 months, making it their last opportunity to collect a decent fee.
Holloway hasn't made any comments since their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed last Sunday indicating that he would refuse to sell the 25-year-old, and instead the option appears to have been taken solely to protect the Tangerines' investment and avoid losing him for nothing.
The Guardian claim that Liverpool maintain an interest in the PFA player of the year nominee, despite having reportedly had a £6 million bid turned down in the winter window, and they may not actually have to increase their offer to convince Blackpool to let him go, as they don't hold as much power this time.
Whether Spurs are also still keen is unclear, as Harry Redknapp spoke glowingly about Adam on Match of the Day 2 recently, however Scott Parker is believed to be the Lilywhites' number one transfer target.
