Inter hopeful of Eto'o deal

Eto'o has been offered to Inter by Barcelona in a swap deal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the Swede keen on securing a switch to Camp Nou.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola admitted earlier this week it was probably best all round for Eto'o to leave the European champions.

Reports have suggested the deal could flounder on the wage demands of Eto'o, but Inter are hopeful they will be able to thrash out a deal.

Eto'o's agent Jose Maria Mesalles has travelled to Milan to hold talks with Inter officials and a five-year deal is believed to be on the table for the Cameroon international.

Moratti is optimistic a deal will be pushed through to see Eto'o link up with the Italian champions.

"I have no certainty but I'm confident," Moratti told the Italian press.
