Manchester City have made a staggering offer to Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o that would make him the highest paid player in Britain.
It is understood that the Premier League club have made a £25m bid and have already been in contact with Eto’o, who is keen to move to Eastlands.
Barca president Joan Laporta believes the temptation of a mega salary would prove too much for Eto’o.
He said: “Eto’o has a stratospheric offer from City, which would convert him into the best paid player in the world.”
