Moratti: Russian offer for Eto'o can't be refused

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is hoping to sell standout striker Samuel Eto'o to Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala because the offer is just too good to turn down

Anzhi is reportedly prepared to pay Inter between $29 and $43 million for the 30-year-old Eto'o and give the Cameroon international a three-year contract worth $29 million net per season.
“When an offer like that comes around, it's difficult to match or refuse,” Moratti told Wednesday's Gazzetta dello Sport.
Eto'o will reportedly undergo medical exams for Anzhi in Rome some time over the next few days, after which the deal will be completed.
Moratti added that UEFA's new financial rules have forced clubs to evaluate their budgets and spending more closely.
This season's club accounts are the first ones that formally have to be given to UEFA for inspection—by June, 2013.
“Financial fair play is serious,” Moratti said. “Whoever doesn't respect the parameters will find themselves excluded from European competition.”
Anzhi, from the troubled southern Russian province of Dagestan, is owned by billionaire businessman Suleiman Kerimov.
Inter is eyeing Diego Forlan of Atletico Madrid or Ezequiel Lavezzi of Napoli as a replacement for Eto'o, with Moratti saying he doesn't expect a deal with Manchester City for Carlos Tevez.
Meanwhile, playmaker Wesley Sneijder appears set to remain at Inter.
“There was never any sort of deal for Wes,” Moratti said. “If Eto'o goes he stays, but seeing as Sneijder was untouchable even before this possibility, he's even more so now.”
