Chelsea finds itself amidst turmoil despite being in contention for the English Premier League title. Tensions have arisen between manager José Mourinho and striker Samuel Eto’o, leading to speculation about Eto’o’s future with the club.
Martin Camus Mimb disclosed that Eto’o had initially signed a one-year contract with Chelsea, with the possibility of an extension based on his performances. However, Eto’o is reportedly considering leaving, with his former club Anzhi Makhachkala showing interest in re-signing him.
Despite Eto’o’s impressive statistics, including six goals in 16 Premier League matches and two goals in five Champions League appearances, he is reportedly unhappy with being used as a substitute. He expressed a preference for ending his career at Mallorca, his son’s birthplace, after his stint with Chelsea.
In response, Mourinho indicated that Eto’o’s future remains uncertain, suggesting that he may opt to return to Mallorca or pursue other opportunities after the season. Despite the uncertainty, Mourinho acknowledged Eto’o’s accomplished career and stated that he doesn’t require further accolades or financial rewards.
Eto’o himself declared that he has nothing left to prove, affirming his stature as a football icon. The situation between Eto’o and Chelsea appears complex, with the striker contemplating his next move amidst the ongoing drama at the club.
