Eto'o Wage Demands Hindering Move : Madrid Want Him

Samuel Eto'o having been told that he is not in new coach, Pep Guardiola's plans is finding it difficult to exit from the Nou Camp.
Due to Eto'o's high wage demands to interested parties, said to be in the region 8.5 to 10 million euros, and Barca's valuation of the star of about 30 million euros, Eto'o is finding it very difficult to move on.
Questions have been arising about how serious Barca really is about letting the Cameroon international go, because of their high asking price for the player.
Eto'o has made it no secret that his preference is to stay at the Catalan club, and really is making no effort to leave for any club which he has no interest in joining.
Pep too has also recently said that finding a new striker is not an urgent matter because of the options available too him, including Eto'o.
Now Real Madrid, who Eto'o played for during his youth years is being once again linked with the versatile striker. Madrid coach Bernd Schuster, is said to be keen on brining Eto'o to the capital as a backup should Van Nistelroy or Raul get injured.
However due to Eto'o being very pro-Barca, and his high profile as a striker I personally don't see him playing as backup to anyone, therefore I deem this move as highly unlikely.
I, like many Barca fans, am clinging on to hope, and praying for an Eto'o stay.

I would say join Tottenham... But after his remarks i would rather keep Darren Bent!!! That's how disrespectful his comment were, he should learn to shut his mouth.
Tottenham would probably have to start playing champions league soccer for him to move there...like i said he's a striker of the highest caliber...so it's gonna take something special to get him to leave Barca
