Catalan radio station Catalunya Ràdio claims that Barcelona wants to have certainty about the future of Barcelona forward and Cameroonian international Samuel Eto'o (27), whose current contract expires in the summer of 2010, before the end of this season.


The club would be considering two options: Eto'o will be offered a contract extension that would include a pay-cut or he will be sold at the end of the season since he could otherwise leave for free one year later. The negotiations with Eto'o and his agent would start soon.

Barcelona thinks that Eto'o could have received a big offer of a European top club since he would have asked to lower his buyout clause and don't want to go through the same soap opera as last season.
