The revelation by Anna Baranka, Samuel Eto’o’s ex-partner, has sparked controversy over the Cameroonian footballer’s age. According to Baranka, Eto’o is not 35 years old as officially indicated, but rather 39 years old. She claims that Eto’o was born in 1974, which would make him older than his documented age by several years.
These claims have gained attention, especially after Chelsea manager José Mourinho’s comments on Canal+ where he hinted at doubts about Eto’o’s age, suggesting he might be older than officially stated. Mourinho’s remarks, though controversial, seem to align with Baranka’s claims.
The controversy surrounding Eto’o’s age is likely to continue in the coming weeks, with fans and media speculating on the true age of the renowned footballer. Eto’o himself has not responded directly to these allegations, but it’s clear that he and his representatives will likely address the issue to set the record straight.
