Eto'o goes to Manchester City

[SSLP]

for $41.6 million dollars , I wonder if M City has enough money for Tevez after this deal.

But just imagine Etoo and Tevez together in the field.

[jayc88]

so is he really the highest paid soccer player in the world now?

[SSLP]

no its Ronaldo his contract is worth over $90 million

[SSLP]

its funny how soccer changed in the 70s and 80s Maradona was worth $10 million which was amazing back then.

Has this been confirmed? Although an offer has seemingly been made, there seems little prospect of a done deal.

[pavyracer]

They made an offer. This is not a done deal.

He can leave for free next year. Makes no sense for him to move when the $40 million could be in his pocket rather than Barcelona's.

[englishmike]

One things for sure, he wont have experienced an atmosphere like Man City's anywhere.

[vega007]

His agent says he's staying at Barcelona for one more year.

Man City could have had de Jong for nothing if they had been willing to wait four months.
