Samuel Eto'o has reacted angrily to being
jeered by the Barcelona fans and the club are locked in
negotiations to stop him demanding a transfer this summer,
according to a report.
The Cameroonian striker was incensed that fans believed that he
deliberately picked up a yellow card in order to miss the Real
Madrid game and whistled him through the Mallorca match on
Sunday.
Eto'o's ire was evident after scoring Barca's second goal of the
evening when he chased the ball into the net and began to kick it
as hard as he could before glaring at the stands.
After the game he was said to be furious and has now indicated
that he is seriously considering leaving after instructing his
agent to listen to see what is on offer abroad, according to
Sport.
The news will be welcomed in England and Italy where Tottenham
Hotspur are said to be organising a package to try and tempt him to
White Hart Lane, while Internazionale are also said to be
monitoring the situation.
Sport state that while Eto'o maybe impulsive,
egocentric, bold and instinctive off the field, he has always been
an exemplary professional on it and that is why he is astounded
that anyone had accused him of trying to avoid playing in the
Bernabeu.
Barca directors and coaches are trying to persuade the former
Mallorca star not to leave, but he could already have been pushed
too far by the crowd.
