Picky Pennant is moving closer to Pompey deal after accepting his time is up at Liverpool
On his way: Jermaine Pennant
Pennant, who is out of contract in the summer, has had offers from Real Madrid, AC Milan, Hull, Stoke and Wigan but so far failed to agree a deal.
He wants to keep his options open in the summer and Portsmouth's proposal would still allow him to do that while playing in the Premier League. The 26-year-old is then likely to take stock of the offers on the table as a free agent.
Adams, who is also interested in Switzerland midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta, said: 'If Jermaine does not want to come, I will not take him on board. People have to come and want to play.'
Bayer Leverkusen star Barnetta, 23, who has also attracted interest from West Ham, was part of Switzerland's 2006 World Cup squad and scored in their group win over Togo.
