Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
From today's Mail
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1195439/Samuel-Etoo-takes-step-closer-Manchester-City-Barcelona-make-37m-David-Villa.html?ITO=1490" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... l?ITO=1490</a>
Barcelona have made a £37million bid for Spain striker David Villa as they prepare for life without Manchester City target Samuel Eto'o.
Barca's summer spending budget is only around £25m, meaning they would need to sell Eto'o to fund a move for Villa on top of their other targets.
Nou Camp president Joan Laporta would love to strike a new deal with his Cameroon striker, who is out of contract next summer.
But talks have hit a brick wall, forcing the European champions to try to cash in now rather than let him leave on a free next summer.
Reports in Spain say Inter Milan and Manchester United are keen on the 28-year-old, but concede City are the only club prepared to pay £30m and meet his huge pay demands.
Sportsmail revealed last week that he would pick up a staggering £320,000 a week at Eastlands, though he has yet to decide on whether to turn his back on Champions League football and head for the Barclays Premier League.
Real Madrid have apparently given up on signing Villa after Valencia insisted their 27-year-old Spain star was not for sale, but that has not deterred Barcelona.
They maintain an interest in Inter Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and former Manchester United forward Carlos Tevez, but have made Villa their No 1 target.
Tevez, 25, wants to stay in England and is close to signing for City, with Chelsea also in the frame.

Eto is 28/29 - hardly at the end of his career just yet. Yes his wage demands are excessive but it isnt a george weah type sitch

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
i have a sneaky feeling we will go for eto'o in jan, when barca will lower there asking price so they wont lose him for nothing next summer, and the money we save will be used on his wages...

11.49 The Catalan press are reporting that Barcelona are preparing a 45million euros bid for Valencia striker David Villa, which could open the door for Samuel Eto'o to leave Camp Nou for the Premier League this summer.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
You'd think Barca would be looking to replace Henry and not Eto'o, Henry has declined far more than Eto'o. They should fix Eto'o a contract at all costs. Villa is getting on himself at 27 so they are hardly replacing them with youth.
