Manchester City want an answer from Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o this weekend. The Sun says City thought they had a deal in place when the Spanish giants accepted a £25million offer for the Cameroon hitman.

Eto'o agreed wages of £200,000 a week - after tax - but knows Barca are keen to cash in now with just one season left on his contract.

So he is holding out for half the fee Barca receive, arguing they could lose him for nothing as a free agent next year.

Now City have decided enough is enough and want a definite answer from the Spaniards in 48 hours.

City head to South Africa for their pre-season tour late next week and would like Eto'o by then.
