Eto’o Demands €15 Million Per Year

Samuel Eto’o’s future remains in a cloud. While Barcelona are eager to off-load the Cameroonian, the player’s huge demands appear to be hampering any possible deal with potential suitors.

AS Roma coach Luciano Spalleti was at one point interested in bringing the player to Rome and although the club denied ever making any offers to Barcelona, the 27 year old hotshot has admitted that there was a strong interest in him.

“Yes, Roma want me, but I am very calm here,” was his brief reply to Spanish daily Sport when asked if he knew anything about the rumours.

According to Marca, meanwhile, Spalleti’s fascination with Eto’o has died off completely after it was reported that the striker was asking for €15 million per year for five years, totalling a staggering €75 million. That and Barcelona chief Joan Laporta’s demand of at least €40 million for the transfer fee make any deal almost impossible to go through.

Eto’o currently earns €10 million a season with the Blaugrana and it is believed he will only consider a move if his future employers can guarantee that golden €15 million per year figure.
