'Huge' bid could net City Eto'o

By The Statesman

MANCHESTER CITY have been told only a 'huge' bid will be enough to prise Samuel Eto'o away from Inter Milan.

Roberto Mancini has been linked with a move for the 30-year-old, who has admitted he would be interested in playing in the Premier League.

And with doubts surrounding the future of Carlos Tevez at Eastlands, Mancini could launch a raid for the £25million-rated former Barcelona hitman.

 
But although Eto'o's agent, Claudio Vigorelli, insists the Cameroon striker is happy in Italy, he hinted a blockbuster offer could tempt Inter to sell.

 
Vigorelli said: "At the moment Inter and Eto'o are happy with each other.

 
"That's the way things are unless something changes before the end of August.

 
"However, there's always a chance that Inter receive a big money offer for Samuel.

 
"I'm talking about a huge bid here — that hasn't happened just yet.

"Inter are not looking to cash in on him and he's not pushing for a transfer but you never know what happens in football."

 
Eto'o joined Inter from Barca in the summer of 2009 and has three years remaining on his deal.
