Man City to complete megabucks deals this week
By ANISunday, June 28, 2009
LONDON - Manchester City has completed a 25-million-pound swoop for Barcelona strike ace Samuel Eto’o and by this week, they will confirm the 30-million-pound signing of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez from Manchester United.
Cameroon star Eto’o, 28, is expected to travel to Manchester in the next few days to finalize the deal, while Tevez will sign a four-year deal worth around 140,000-pounds a week on Wednesday, reports News of The World.
Eto’o, who initially demanded 200,000 pounds a week after tax, will put pen to paper on a five-year deal worth 180,000 pounds a week after tax, with further bonuses tied to success.
Eto’o’s path to City appears to have been cleared by Barca, who are negotiating a 13 million pound deal for Palmeiras whizz Keirrison.
Sources believe the Brazilian will then be loaned to Valencia, in return for them letting David Villa go to the Nou Camp for 37 million pounds. (ANI)
