Barcelona president Joan Laporta said "it would be nice that Eto'o retires here," though he warned. "There could be a surprise."
Joan Laporta, who insisted on the fact that all the topics related to the season planning lie in the hands of sporting director Txiki Beguiristain and coach Pep Guardiola, he said Samuel Eto'o "is one of the players who always receives juicy offers."
Samuel Eto'o contract with Barcelona expires next season; so, if the Cameroonian player and the team fail to reach an agreement, he will be entitled to join any team he wishes as from January 1, 2010.
"We want him to stay with us, his contract is still in force and we hope he can accept a deal renewal," Laporta commented. He insisted that all sports decisions are made by the sporting director, so he won't reveal a fact. "I won't talk about anything that are not convenient."
When asked about whether Florentino Perez shocked the market with such a huge offer for Kaka, Laporta said. "Barcelona will stick to the same policy, regardless of any decision made."
"Our advantage is that the players take Barcelona as a point of reference because of all the titles we've earned recently, I say it with all respect," Laporta added. "We always try to play the player what he really deserves and what is fair for the team,"; He also stated that he feels proud of their policy, which is based on focusing on players coming from the junior divisions.
