City line-up £55m splurge on Eto'o and Aguero as Tevez edges closer to the exit
Manchester City are ready to flex their muscle in the summer transfer window with a sensational £55million double swoop for Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o and Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero.
City had opened tentative discussions with Inter over a possible swap involving Carlos Tevez and Eto'o last month but that was abandoned as figures, including the wage demands of the Cameroon striker, got too high.
However the latest step in the long-running saga involves an £18m transfer fee which is completely of Tevez, and Eto'o is keen to talk.
The two-time Champions League winner hopes to secure one final big contract and was unimpressed when he held discussions with Inter president Massimo Moratti about improving his current deal. He wants a further two years with a salary to match City's offer.
The Eastlands outfit are wary having been in a similar position before when Eto'o left Barcelona but have been assured he is more serious about the move this time.
Eto'o scored 21 goals in Serie A last season for a struggling Inter outfit and having won all that there is to in Spain and Italy, would welcome a new challenge.
