Eto'o set to snub Manchester City

<b>Samuel Eto'o</b><br/> Fernando Torres is far too heavily relied on at Anfield and surely Benitez's main target this summer will be to relieve some of that pressure. As Eto'o showed in the Champions League final, he remains one the world's top strikers, and with his contract due to expire next summer, Barcelona may be forced to cash in on the Cameroon international.

Eto'o has reportedly been offered £190,000-a-week

Samuel Eto'o will turn down Manchester City's 'stratospheric' offer and stay with Barcelona, according to the striker's agent.

Sky Sports report that Eto'o is leaning towards a stay at the Nou Camp, despite reports of a £190,000-a-week offer from Mark Hughes' Manchester City side.

Eto'o's agent, Josep Maria Mesalles, told ONA FM, "If there is not a 180-degree turnaround then he will stay with Barcelona."

Should the Cameroon international choose to stay with the European Champions, it may pose some problems. Eto'o has one year remaining on his contract and will be able to leave for free next summer.

Barcelona may be eager to cash in now, with City reportedly offering £25m for the 28-year-old.
