City approaches Eto`o
Manchester City have bid in the region of £25m for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o, BBC Radio 5 Live understands.
The Spanish club's president Joan Laporta claimed City have made the 28-year-old Cameroon international a "stratospheric offer" to join them.
Reports have suggested the Eastlands club have offered Eto'o wages of up to £250,000 per week, which would make him the highest-paid player in the world. City refused to confirm or deny that they have made an offer. Eto'o joined Barcelona in 2004, signing from Mallorca for a fee of about £16m, and has since scored more than 100 goals in his five seasons with the club.
