This evening negotiations took place between Inter and the agent of Samuel Eto'o, Jose Mesalles, as the two sides look to come to an agreement regarding the player's transfer to the Giuseppe Meazza.

The Cameroon star looks set to join Inter as part of a swap deal that will send striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the opposite direction to Barcelona, but apparently the two parties are quite a distance apart, according to the Corriere dello Sport.

The Nerazzurri have offered Eto'o €9 million per season plus a number of bonuses, but the former Mallorca player is looking for a better offer. He is reportedly demanding €12 million per season for five years - a contract that would make him the highest paid player in football.

Negotiations are expected to continue tomorrow, with the presence of Inter president Massimo Moratti. The club patron has already stated that he is confident that Eto'o and Inter will come to a mutual agreement.

The 28-year-old was once again prolific last season, scoring 34 goals in all competitions, including the winning goal in the Champions League final against Manchester United.
