Etoo Agreed Terms With Inter

It looks like the mega swap deal involving two notable strikers Samuel Etoo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is set to take it's ending as latest reports from Italy stated that Eto'o has finally agreed his contract terms with Inter. It is also said that the cameroon striker will be flying to Italy on Monday to complete sign the papers and do his medical in Milan.

Confirming about the agreement Samu's agent, Jose Maria Mesalles, quoted as saying, "It's done. An agreement between Inter and ourselves has been reached. Yesterday Samuel spoke with Mourinho and he is very happy." Moreover Mesalles added, "The only problem is with Barcelona. The player may arrive on Monday or Tuesday to work with Inter. It's not official, but the agreement with Inter has been made. It's a five year deal."

Now all eyes will be waiting on the latest confirmation from Barcelona, who is negotating all the terms with Ibra, however earliers this week, Barcelona's chief Joan Laporta, stated that the deal with Ibra will be completed as soon as possible.  Despite there are no official confirmation yet, local media in Spain have claimed that the deal is done, and Ibra will be flying to Spain soon.

The deal, happened in somewhat of a schocking situation as it seemed to be off for a while, however in their desperate measure to land David Villa, Barcelona has finally opted what they consider as a win-win solution by getting a great striker and giving out their contract troubled one. Despite there are some controversy regarding the amount of transfer fee, the deal seems to be a good options for both clubs and players.

Barcelona, was the one that received media attention as they were the one who came with the offer of 40 million euro plus Etoo and the possible loaning of Alexander Hleb for Ibra. Some pundits, regards the deal as a crazy one as it mean for Ibra's service, the are willing to cash out almost as huge as Madrid's fee for Cristiano Ronaldo. However, considering that Barca need too offload Eto'o this season, because of his contract, Barcelona did make a good option. Ibrahimovic is a different player than Eto'o, the Swedish is much more of a technical player and an individual brilliance while his opposite is known for his grit, determination and probably a better team player. 

It would be interesting to watch as Inter would probably miss Ibra more than Barca would miss Eto'o, Ibra practically was half of Inter's game during his time at the San Siro, while for Eto'o despite his amazing goal tally, Barcelona are still a strong attacking team especially with Ibra on their team. Inter would have to really adapt a new kind of play with Eto'o on their team, as the Cameroon have way different character than Ibra.
