Can you please copy and paste the story!?

Eto'o must stay within the City limits
29/06/2009 09:45


There's only one transfer story in town at the moment (that could change!) but Richard Tanner is looking beyond the extravagant claims currently coming out of the Nou Camp ...

Daily Express

Manchester City have tabled a £25million bid for long-time target Samuel Eto’o but played down claims they have offered to make him the world’s best-paid player.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta said City had made a “stratospheric offer” to lure Cameroon striker Eto’o to Eastlands amid reports they had promised to pay him £180,000 a week after tax – equivalent to £252,000 gross.

Those figures would make him football’s top earner, on £12m a year, but City insiders say that even though they are the richest club on the planet thanks to the backing of their oil-wealthy Abu Dhabi owners, they would not sanction that sort of mind-boggling contract.

Laporta told Catalan radio station iCat FM: “Eto’o has a stratospheric offer from City, which would convert him into the best-paid player in the world. He wants to stay but an offer like this is very difficult to refuse.”

City suspect Laporta is simply trying to prevent a backlash from Barca fans. A deal would be good business for Barca as Eto’o – a hero in Catalonia after scoring 125 goals in 186 games – can leave as a free agent next summer.

It would also give them the cash to try to outbid rivals Real Madrid for Valencia’s David Villa.

City have permission to speak to Eto’o but are unlikely to offer any more than the £160,000 a week gross they are understood to pay Robinho for fear of dressing-room unrest and inviting more condemnation of a "spend, spend, spend" policy

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

something like this.........

Según has been able to know World Sport, the representative of Samuel Eto' or, Josep Maria Mesalles, summons for this Tuesday a press conference in the Col·legi of Periodistes de Catalonia to communicate posicià official ³ n of represented his, mÃdecided s to remain in the FC Barcelona that is to accept the supply of the Manchester City. The surroundings of the player consider that unacceptable who the club wants to make see that the conditions of contract of ' Samu' they are those that paralyze operacià ³ n between the Barça and the Manchester City and affirms that first opcià ³ n of camerunés continues being the azulgrana club. AsÃ, this Monday by the mañana, operacià ³ n estÃmÃopen s that never and Eto' or it has not given sà definitive to operacià English ³ n. At the moment, opcià sport ³ n to remain in campeà ³ n of Europe (and to leave free prà ³ xima season) weight mÃs that opcià ³ n econà ³ mica. Numbers millonariasEl crossing of Samuel Eto' or to the Manchester City camerunés depends already exclusively on the forward, every time the agreement between the FC Barcelona and the club inglés estÃalready prÃcticamente closed around the 30 million Euros, as Sport World has informed. Now Eto' decides; or, that today it has predicted to arrive at ParÃs and that he is already expert of the supply that City has made arrive at its representative: 10 million net Euros by season, a number far beyond mÃhigh s that the Barça estarÃa arranged to offer in one ampliacià ³ to him n of contract and that convertirÃa to camerunés in the forward better paid of the world. The Barça is satisfied with 30 determined million as total post of the crossing, although aceptarÃfà ³ rmula of 27 fixed mÃs 3 in variables, that has been the propose última of the Manchester City. The problem so that operacià ³ n can close estÃin the crossing premium that Samuel Eto' or he wishes to perceive. Eto' or it considers that within año, it frees of contract, podrÃa to even negotiate conditions mÃs advantageous that those that obtendrÃa now of the Manchester City and that estarÃa in conditions for demanding a crossing premium, reason why understands that compensacià corresponds one to him ³ n. The money of the CityEl City, however, does not want to pay mÃs, since it feels that already he has been quite generous in his supply, as much with the Barça as with the forward. If it arrives until 30 million in the agreement with the Barça, not harÃposition of a crossing premium. Eto' or, then, it has mà nows that never the key of operacià ³ n, although the strategy of camerunés has not changed excessively: it has contract with the Barça, knows that in 2010 negociarÃa in conditions mÃs advantageous and his first opcià ³ n is to follow in the Camp Nou. That sÃ, negotiates with another club, something that not habÃa happened until now. City confÃa in its possibilities of convincing to him with those 10 million net Euros by each one of the five seasons that offer to camerunés. The club of Manchester, great citizen rival of the United, is conscious of its competitive limitations inasmuch as it has not been classified to play eurotorneos, but sueña with among others constructing a winning equipment thanks to million contributed by the tycoon of Abu Dhabi Sulaiman Al-Fahim, that already have convinced to Robinho and Tevez. The Barça has not made any supply formal to Eto' or to extend its contract, among others things because the Barcelonist club knows cuà perfectly³ is to them the aspirations econà micas of the forward enough camerunés for time, aspirations that the Barça cannot satisfy. Eto' or, then, he is mÃs that never who has the key so that the Barça and the Manchester City can give operacià closed ³ n by.

According to Mundo Deportivo has learned, the representative of Samuel Eto'o, Josep Maria Mesalles convenes Tuesday for a press conference at the College of Journalists of Catalonia to communicate the official position of his client, the more determined to stay FC Barcelona has to accept the offer from Manchester City. As the player finds it unacceptable that the club wants to show that the conditions of contract 'Samu' are paralyzing the operation between FC Barcelona and Manchester City and says that the first option of Cameroon remains the club azulgrana. Thus, this Monday morning, the operation is more open than ever and Eto'o has not given a definitive yes to the British operation. For now, the option of staying in sports champion Europe (and leave open the next season) outweighs the option.



Millions

The transfer of Samuel Eto'o to Manchester City and depends exclusively on the Cameroonian striker, as the agreement between FC Barcelona and the English club is almost closed and around 30 million, as reported by Sports World. Now decide Eto'o, who is now scheduled to arrive in Paris and is already familiar with the offer that the City has sent its representative: 10 million net per season, a figure well above the highest Barça be willing to offer a contract extension that would make the Cameroonian striker best paid in the world.

Barca is satisfied with the amount fixed as 30 million total for the transfer, but will accept the formula of 27 variables fixed at 3, which was the latest proposal by Manchester City. The problem for the transaction can be closed is in the premium transfer Samuel Eto'o wants to receive. Eto'o believes that within a year of free contract, it could negotiate more favorable terms than those of Manchester City win now and would be able to claim a premium transfer, which means that it is a compensation .



The money from the City

The City, however, does not want to pay more, since it feels it has already been quite generous in his offer, with both Barca and with the front. If you come to 30 million in the agreement with FC Barcelona, will not pay for a premium transfer. Eto'o, then, now more than ever the key to the operation, although the strategy has not changed too camerounais: contracts with the Barça, knows that in 2010 negotiated under more advantageous conditions and their first choice is to continue in Camp Nou. But it is negotiating with another club, which had not happened so far.

The City relies on their ability to convince those 10 million net for each of the five seasons that offers camerounais. The club of Manchester United's great rival citizen is aware of its limitations competitive as it has not been rated for play eurotorneos, but dreams of building a winning team thanks to the millions provided by the Abu Dhabi tycoon Sulaiman Al-Fahim, already convinced Robinho and Tevez, among others.

Barca has not made any formal offer for Eto'o to extend its contract, among other things because the Club Barcelona are well aware of what the economic aspirations of the Cameroonian striker for quite some time, aspirations that Barca can not meet. Eto'o is therefore more than ever who has the key for Barca and Manchester City could give the transaction closed.
