The possibility of Samuel Eto’o returning to Inter Milan has surfaced, as reported by Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport, two prominent Italian newspapers. Eto’o, who previously played for Inter between 2009 and 2011, could be seen as a solution to bolster the club’s attacking prowess, especially given their struggles in the league.
Inter Milan, currently seeking a more prolific striker than their current options, including Roberto Palacio, Mauro Icardi, and Diego Milito, sees Eto’o’s return as a potential remedy. The Cameroonian star left an indelible mark on the club during his previous stint, contributing significantly to Inter’s remarkable achievements, including winning the Serie A, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, and Club World Cup.
The recent remarks made by José Mourinho during an interview with Canal Football Club seem to have further fueled Eto’o’s desire for a change. Mourinho’s comments, implying doubts about Eto’o’s goal-scoring ability due to his age, have strained their relationship. Eto’o appears to have taken offense at Mourinho’s remarks, suggesting a deteriorating relationship between the two.
As Inter Milan looks to strengthen its squad for future campaigns, the prospect of Eto’o returning to the club he once excelled for has garnered significant attention and speculation.
