The English Premier League club would want to make Barcelona a bid of 22 million euro° for the striker whose contract expires in 2010, while they would offer Eto'o a year salary of around 7 million euro.
Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Liverpool would also have been interested in Eto'o but would not be planning a bid this summer because they cannot afford to pay a transfer fee and the player's salary of 7,5 million euro a year.

Barcelona interest in Cesc makes Arsenal spend
Brtish tabloid Mail on Sunday claims that Barcelona is still interested in Arsenal midfielder and Spanish international Cesc Fàbregas (21) and that Arsenal wants to sign a top player this winter to convince the player to stay.
With talks on Cesc's future due this summer, the signing of Russian attacker Arshavin should also help to convince the Catalan midfielder that the English Premier League club has the potential to attract big names and to compete for the trophies in the future.
The tabloid claims that Cesc is the player Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola wants for next season and they have already tried to sign him, when director Marc Ingla met with Arsenal director Ken Friar last summer. And with Barcelona enjoying a good period, it is believed in Barcelona that Guardiola's special relationship with Cesc could now tempt him back to his former club.

Sylvinho would consider Celtic offer
Asked about the rumours linking him with Scottish champions Celtic Glasgow (read more here), Barcelona left back defender Sylvinho (34), whose contract expires at the end of the season, has said in an interview with British tabloid Scottish Mail on Sunday that such a move could certainly be an option for him:
"If there was an official offer, and we could agree terms, then I would be very, very excited about a move to Glasgow. If there are people at Celtic who think well of me as a footballer, then I'm pleased.
I still have a really good relationship with Barcelona and I love it here. But I have still got a lot to offer in football terms on the pitch, not just as a squad member. Let's just wait and see what happens."

Still no agreement on Deco transfer fee
British tabloid The Mail on Sunday claims that Barcelona and Chelsea have yet to agree on the fee for the transfer of Barcelona midfielder and Portuguese international Deco (30), who has already agreed personal terms with the English Premier League club.
Barcelona would be holding on to a 20 million euro° fee, which is deemed axcessive by Chelsea. The arrival of new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari in London next week should nevertheless coincide with the deal on Deco being completed.
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo meanwhile claims that there are only some details left for an agreement between the two clubs to be reached. The transfer should be announced later this week. Barcelona would receive a transfer fee of 10 million euro°.

Arsenal opens door for Adebayor transfer
Both main Catalan sports papers claim that Barcelona sports vice president Marc Ingla has obtained during his trip to London on Friday (read more here) that Arsenal is now ready to negotiate the exit of Arsenal forward and Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor (24).
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that one of the key elements was a letter that Adebayor, who couldn't contact Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, wrote to Arsenal managing director Ken Friar asking the latter to communicate to Wenger the player's desire to leave the English club in the summer and to ask for a meeting to discuss the matter.
British tabloid The Mail on Sunday claims that Wenger and the Arsenal board of directors are also prepared to approve Adebayor's exit because they have been infuriated by the new wage demands of the player.
With AC Milan also interested in the Arsenal striker, a deal on the transfer price has not yet been found. Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona is offering 29 million euro° while Arsenal is asking 40 million euro°. Most other sources claims that Arsenal would be ready to accept a transfer fee of around 30 million euro°.
The wish of the player could in the end be decisive to bring Adebayor to Barcelona. Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that two of his team-mates have declared to the paper that they received a message on their mobile phone reading "I already see myself in Barcelona."
Catalans sports paper Sport claims that Adebayor and Arsenal have already reached a personal agreement: the Togolese player would sign a four-year contract worth 4 million euro a year.
AC Milan advisor Ernesto Bronzetti meanwhile said in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Radio that the Italian club is still very much in the race although Arsenal prefers to do business with Barcelona: "Let's say the chances are fifty fifty. In the end a lot will depend on the wishes of the player. The thing is that Arsenal wants to sell him to Barcelona and I have heard they have already agreed a deal with the player."

Deco chooses Chelsea over Inter
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona midfielder and Portugal international Deco (30) has decided to join English Premier League club Chelsea in the summer.
Deco's agent Jorge Mendes has been talking over the last weeks with Inter sports director Marco Branca and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon. Deco himself would have talked several times with new Inter manager José Mourinho.
Because Chelsea made a better financial offer and because he would really become the key figure in the English team, Deco would now have chosen the Chelsea option. If nothing unexpected happen, Deco will soon sign his contract. At Chelsea the Brazilian born player could possibly team up again with current Portuguese national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
British tabloid Mail on Sunday also claims that Deco is close to signing for Chelsea. The arrival of Deco would clear the way for Frank Lampard to leave Chelsea for Inter. Barcelona would receive a transfer fee of little less than 20 million euro°.

Mourinho in? Lampard in
British tabloid The Mail on Sunday states that the further approach between former Chelsea manager José Mourinho (45) and Barcelona (read more here), makes the Chelsea future of English international Frank Lampard (29) more uncertain. The close relationship the Chelsea midfielder has with his former manager would make it almost certain that Lampard would join Barcelona if Mourinho becomes their next manager.

There's Lampard again...
British newspaper The Mail on Sunday is again linking Barcelona with Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard (29). The player’s contract expires in June 2009 and without a renewal in the coming months a new FIFA ruling would enable Barcelona to sign Lampard at the end of the current season for 6,8 million euro. The appointment of former Chelsea manager José Mourinho as the successor of Frank Rijkaard could be a crucial element.
