Foot Africa Samuel Eto’o Could Make An Amazing Return To Football Very Soon

The Cameroon and Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o retired from football in September last year following a brief stint with Qatar SC. But he could soon be about to dust off his boots.

Spanish third-tier outfit Racing Murcia, funded by Emirates investors, are making an audacious move for the 39-year-old former striker.

The club’s ambitious president, Morris Pagniello, told Radio Marca: “At this time of the morning I would say that the signing of Samuel Eto’o by our team is at 50-50.”

Next week we will know if we can sign Eto’o. If not, we have a Plan B prepared. We have several investors in Mexico and the Emirates who can financially compensate the operation.” He then added. 

Racing Murcia, who won promotion to the third tier at the end of last season, have an interesting background.

They have made some notable signings in the past, including Mathias Pogba – the brother of Manchester United star Paul Pogba.

But now they want to go one step further by landing Eto’o, who has played for the likes of Barcelona, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Everton having started off his youth career at Real Madrid. 

Real Murcia also have audacious plans to play their Copa del Rey clash against LaLiga side Levante in the United Arab Emirates. And they hope the signing of Eto’o can add to the occasion.

Out of the field for a year, is the native of Yaoundé still physically fit? This is the question since he was recently the victim of a traffic accident. But it is not really a priority according to Morris Pagniello. It remains to see what the final answer of the person in question will be.
