Indonesian billionaire Erick Thohir could come to Inter Milan's aid in their bid to bring Samuel Eto'o back to the San Siro.Gazzetta dello Sport says Thohir is set to return to Italy next week to resume talks with Inter president Massimo Moratti about buying a majority share in the club.
And the availability of Eto'o from Anzhi gives the magnate the perfect opportunity to celebrate the club's new ownership with a huge signing.
Eto'o has spoken of returning to the Nerazzurri in the past week, though he also has courted interest from Napoli, Chelsea and Manchester United.
For his part, new Inter coach Walter Mazzarri has made it clear he needs to boost his firepower after a disappointing run of preseason results.
