Forget Samuel Eto'o becoming England's first £200,000-a-week footballer - try the first £250,000-a-week player!

The Sun says the Barcelona striker will earn £13million a year if the £25m switch goes through.

He has only one year left on his contract, which is why Barca are keen to cash in on the Cameroon star rather than lose him on a free next season.

The Catalans could not match City's offer as it DOUBLES his current wages.

It will also dwarf Cristiano Ronaldo's pay packet at Real Madrid.
