Samuel Eto’o will sign 5-year deal at Manchester City worth £180k a week/ Transfer news 28/06/2009Reports this morning claim Manchester City have secured the signature of Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o.
According to Aidan Magee in the News of the World: "Eto'o, 28, is expected to travel to Manchester in the next few days to finalise the deal... Eto'o, who initially demanded £200,000 a week after tax, will put pen to paper on a five-year deal worth £180k a week after tax, with further bonuses tied to success."
A "source" adds in the News of the World that "The player could have earned similar money at Barca. But Eto'o and his people think City could be going places and is excited by the type of players they are attracting."
Samuel Eto’o’s move to Eastlands is now thought to be close with Barcelona set to sign Brazilian 20-year-old striker Keirrison from Palmeiras. He could then be moved on from the Nou Camp in a swoop for Valencia striker David Villa.
Manchester City are also expected to confirm, as has been predicted for a few weeks now, that Carlos Tevez will join Mark Hughes’ side. The Argentinean striker is expected to sign a four-year deal worth £180k a week on Wednesday. |
