Samuel Eto'o has declared he wants to play out his career at Barcelona.

The Cameroon striker told World Soccer: "I had offers from other clubs (in the summer) but I decided to continue in Barcelona and I think it is the best choice I've ever made in my whole life.

"I do not have a burning desire to prove myself in another league. My whole career has been spent in Spain and I do not mind retiring here. I am a Cameroonian and then Spanish.

"If I were to leave, it would be like leaving my country. I don't intend to leave, I'm happy here."
