Eto'o eyes Barca exit
Monday 21 April, 2008

Milan target Samuel Eto'o has shocked Barcelona by admitting he could leave the Blaugrana for pastures new this summer.

The 27-year-old hitman, widely regarded as one of the best centre-forwards on the planet, has scored in every one of his 14 League appearances this season.

Unlike Ronaldinho, Eto'o is believed to be indispensable to Barca, but their failure to keep up with Real Madrid in the title race could spell the end of his time in La Liga.

“I would like to win another championship, but if it is not possible at Barcelona I could go elsewhere,” explained Eto'o.

Frank Rijkaard's side are 10 points adrift of League leaders Real after an anaemic display in the Catalan derby against Espanyol.

Milan have shown interest in the Cameroonian star before and will be attracted by the prospect of signing Eto'o who, after 12 years in Spain, is open to a move abroad.

“If I leave Barcelona, my cycle in Spain will terminate here,” lamented Eto'o.

The powerful striker is the latest in a long line of Barcelona stars to be linked with a move to the Rossoneri, including Ronaldinho and Gianluca Zambrotta.
