With the passage of time, the day of yesterday can be recalled as that in which the door at the outset of the Barça began to be opened for Samuel Eto' or. And the fact is that yesterday, the agent of the forward one, Josep Maria Mesalles, contemplated for the first time and of public form the possibility that Eto' that is to say transferred this summer. "We seek a space of continuity in the Barça but we do not rule out anything. If an interesting offering for us and for the club arrives, also we would study it", assured Mesalles before the journalists to the doors of the offices of the club.
Before, it put in an office, the agent of Eto' or had met with Txiki Begiristain, the technical secretary of the club, and Raül SanllehÃ, the director of soccer. The keys of that encounter, to the ones that has had access MD, they draw a new setting in which Eto' or no longer closes the door to a transfer and no longer is castled, as until does little, in the speech that has contract until 2010 and wants to comply it.
One of the most significant factors is that during the encounter neither Txiki neither Mesalles spoke of the renewal of the forward one.

Among those clubs important that have been interested for the Cameroonian one they are the Manchester United, the City, the Chelsea, the Liverpool, the Inter and the Milan. Although they have not transcended the names, some of these clubs has also been directed directly to the FC Barcelona to ask for its 'nine'. The Italian newspaper 'The Gazzetta dello Sports' published yesterday that Mesalles has asked to the Inter 65 million for five seasons, that is to say, 13 to the year, in which already would be included the cousin of acquisition.
The meeting of yesterday also served so that the Barça clarified to Josep Maria Mesalles that will not ask a millonada by Eto' or if the player finds a club that the slip he give him to which he aspires. That is to say, that would give facilities to that he could crystallize an operation at the outset if the club that were to by Eto' or to offer a worthy quantity by him.
Facilities
Keeping in mind that the Cameroonian one finishes contract in 2010 and that to Pep piggy bank seduces him more another profile of forward, the club knows that cannot ask for Eto' or neither 50 neither 40 million euro.
During the meeting, Txiki and Mesalles also they were asked 'fair play' as for utilize not to the press to pressure to the other part. Now only it remains to expect
