Will Eto'o move to Man City?

The astonishing 令人驚訝的 package would see about ￡25 million (around 280 million yuan) being paid in transfer fees to Barcelona and a whopping 令人嘆為觀止的 salary of around ￡200,000 (around 2.2 million yuan) per week.

The package is one of several huge 龐大的 transfer deals in recent months. It could even eclipse 超過 Cristiano Ronaldo’s high-profile deal with Real Madrid.

Joan Laporta, President of Barcelona, has openly discussed the deal on Catalan radio station iCat FM:

"He has a stratospheric offer that would make him the best-paid player in the world."

He then goes on to say how Eto’o is finding the prospect 前途 very tempting 吸引人的:

"He wants to stay but an offer like this is very difficult to refuse."

Financially alluring 從金融角度上看非常吸引人 this offer might be but has Eto’o considered the likely upshot 最終結局 of joining Manchester City?

The team, which is owned by billionaire Sheikh Mansour, has been adding might 威力 and spending money like there is no tomorrow 好像沒有明天。

There will surely be grumbles 抱怨，牢騷 from the players if they don’t see enough minutes on the field.

It could prove a huge headache 頭疼 for the Manchester City manager Mark Hughes when deciding between new players and existing team members such as Robinho and Roque.

While Hughes is pondering 思量，考量 over that possible dilemma 可能出現的困境, the football community await an official transfer announcement. Manchester City hope to make an announcement regarding Eto’o’s transfer by mid July.
