ETO'O CONSIDERS INTERNAZIONALE SWAP
Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o is willing to move to Inter in exchange for Zlatan Ibrahimovic as long as he receives a five-year contract worth £10m a season.
The Cameroon international has a year left on his current deal with Barça and is in quite a negotiating position what with interest from England rising.
Eto'o has been valued at around £20m and is reluctant to leave the European champions, but would do so if it were to become worth his while.
“To obtain the 'yes' of Samuel there is need of a golden handshake and a remuneration equal to that received by Ibrahimovic,†his agent, José Maria Mesalles, said.
In laymen's terms, Eto'o wants £15m just for walking away from Barça as well as the same contract Ibrahimovic currently enjoys at Inter, which is worth £10m a year.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 28-year-old is unwilling to lower his demands, as he believes an English club will be able to meet his terms in January.
In total, Eto'o would cost Inter an astonishing £65m over five years, which some would say represents value for money considering he scores 30 goals a season.
