He's Just Eto'o Expensive - Spalletti

The Cameroon international looks set for a summer exit from Camp Nou and a number of club’s including the Giallorossi as well as Milan were after him.

However, his high price tag and mega-wage demands have scuppered any real interest from Roma who were interested for quite some time.

Spalletti has revealed that the club cannot move for superstar players with exagerated salary expectations.

“Eto’o is a player that we simply cannot afford. He’s too expensive,” Spalletti told Il Romanista.

“I had made enquiries for Eto’o a while back and I also wanted Gianluca Zambrotta but their wages were just completely out of our reach.

“Baptista? He’s a good player. As for David Silva, He, like the others has high costs behind him.”

The Giallorossi have been heavily linked with the Los Che midfielder but a deal doesn’t seem on the horizon, despite reports claiming otherwise.

Roma need to ensure they sign a player pronto before the new season takes full swing if the are to challenge for major honours.
