Barca offers Eto'o new contract

Tue 30th, June 2009

Barcelona, Spain (Sports Network) - Confusion surrounds Manchester City's hopes of signing Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o after the Cameroon international's agent confirmed that the 28-year-old had been offered the chance to extend his stay at the Camp Nou.

City reportedly offered Barca $42 million for Eto'o who they are keen to land on a lucrative two-year contract.

However, according to Eto'o's agent, Josep Maria Mesalles, the Champions League winners have now offered his client a new contract.

"On June 2, the club called a meeting and I was told by Barca sporting director Txiki Begiristain and director of football Raul Sanllehi that, due to a technical decision, Samuel does not feature in the club's plans next season," Mesalles said.

"We then had another meeting and I was told once again that Samuel was not in their plans for next season. [Barcelona boss Pep] Guardiola said at the end of the season that he was delighted with Samuel, so I don't know what has changed.

"My mistake was to not verify this information and we need to find out what the coach wants, because he is the one who ultimately decides.

"I don't know if everything changed in the space of an afternoon, I don't know if they really want Samuel to stay of if they just want to make money out of him.

"He would be delighted to stay if they want him and we will study their offer if it is serious, but if they don't want him we will do all we can to help Samuel find a new club.

"We have not sat down to speak to Manchester City, but they have made Barcelona an offer.

"In theory he wants to play in the Champions League, but if Manchester City have an offer accepted, we would be delighted to go there."
