Barcelona keen to sell reluctant Eto'o to Man City

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is ready to sell striker Samuel Eto'o for £30 million.

El Mundo Deportivo says that's the price Laporta hopes to cash in Eto'o for, though is willing to listen to lower offers.

Manchester City are favourites to sign the Cameroon international, who will be sold as soon as Barca close an agreement for Valencia ace David Villa.

Laporta is keen to do business with City, but Eto'o remains to be convinced about joining a club not in next season's Champions League.

i dont get the numpty thing sorry tevez n rsc injured ireland going throgh slump ? n we got 2 away games coming up one at rags ..........

oh dear we only got the traveller himself Mr Robinho and Eto n Caicedo left ????? We'll i'd still be a worried manager.........................of our opposition!!!!!

The owners have made it plain that Hughes has the ob for the forseeable - not my choice, but not my money. In the meantime lets get behind him and see what he can do.

I seem to recall a team in another city though using our first name having a long time in the wilderness appointing a man who had been his countries coach and nearly booting him and then by a stroke of luck they beat?????? Norwich i seem to recall and the rest is history. Give the guy a chance and lets see what happens. In the meantime the fact we are even mentioned in the same breath as Eto is good enough for this life long (ok only 45 yrs) Citeh fan !!

*****!!! Im a City fan and I want Hughes out, how many strikers do you want you numpty?!?!?

Well,for me it's a great mistake to sell out eto'o after his wonderful performance last season. His is a great player whom i respect a lot.left to my own opinion i would say "sell henry and leave eto'o for me"
