Barcelona president Joan Laporta admits Samuel Eto'o is not returning his calls. He said last night: "I called Samuel a couple of times, but he hasn't answered the phone. I do not know if the number has changed.

"My feeling is he doesn't want to talk to us. Is he angry with Barca? You'll have to ask him.

"He has just a year's contract left and we are keen to know what his future plans are. I would talk calmly with him." Laporta added they had offered Eto'o a two-year contract extension, but added: "In principle I do not see the possibility (of Eto'o signing)."
