Barcelona's Eto'o agrees £9M-a-year Inter deal

The agent of Barcelona ace Samuel Eto'o has struck personal terms with Inter Milan.

Marca says after an hour-long meeting in Milan, Jose Maria Mesalles shook hands on a five-year contract with Inter officials worth £9 million-a-season.

The agreement opens the door for Barca to open serious negotiations with Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in order to complete the sensational swap.

Alex Hleb, the Barca midfielder, is set to be added to Barca's offer, which will officially be the Belarussian, Eto'o and £35 million for Ibrahimovic.

Stupid Barca. Inter definitely has the better end of this bargain. Ibrahimovich is nowhere near Eto'o as far as goal-scoring is concerned.

Ibra 35 mill what r barca smokin

If u look at it carefully, actually it is a good deal...Why?
because eto dont want to sign a new contract unless barca agreed
to pay him MORE money. So if barca keep him until next season, then eto will be a
free agent. no way barca will let that happen.
player with 1 more year contract..
only mcity dumb enough to pay 25 million..;p..
so basically, u can say that barca pay
35 million for ibra...+ hleb is only for season loan. Even hleb stay in barca, he's only a bechwarmer... it's gud that u dun have to pay the wage for bechwarmer..rite?
its better to offload eto now..when he's still have value..
