Eto’o joins Al Ittihad
14 April 2006

JEDDAH: Barcelona’s Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o has joined AFC Champions League champions Al Ittihad in a loan move.

Speaking at a press conference to announce his signing, Eto’o said: “I don’t play for the money alone. Happiness is my priority that's why I chose to play with Ittihad in the AFC Champions League."

Details of his contract have not been revealed.

Al Ittihad has also signed a contract with the player to open an ‘Ittihad and Eto'o Soccer Academy’ in Cameroon. “The Saudi club will benefit from the players that graduate from the academy,” said Al Ittihad President Mansoor Al-Balawi.

dunno, he will be getting paid shitloads by Barca anyway. I understand that it is only while the world cup is on, seeing as Camaroon didnt qualify. Still, a bizzarre one!

what an utter cunt, the wages they pay in saudi are obscene so it's clear what the reasons for this move are.

makes me feel sick when you consider the fact he can barely afford to ppay our squad in the third tier of english football
