The 39-year-old Cameroonian legend is being heavily linked with Spanish 3rd tier outfit Racing Murcia, a club that just received a promotion last season.
With outside investors taking over at the club, Murcia could afford to finance the signing of the three-time Champions League winner.
Reports from Spain claim that the club hopes the arrival of Eto’o will boost their chances in the Copa Del Rey when they face La Liga’s Levante in the United Arab Emirates.

The club president, Morris Pagniello, told Radio Marca as cited in SPORTbible: “At this time of the morning I would say that the signing of Samuel Eto’o by our team is at 50-50.
“Next week we will know if we can sign Eto’o. If not, we have a Plan B prepared. “We have several investors in Mexico and the Emirates who can financially compensate the operation.”
Eto’o was recently involved in a tragic road accident, but he is said to be in stable condition even as he continues to receive treatment at a yet to be identified hospital.
