Eto'o to remain with Barcelona

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o has revealed he turned down an approach from Chelsea and will instead sign a new deal with the Primera Liga champions.

Despite recent comments from Eto’o’s agent, Josep Maria Mesalles, questioning how much Barca wanted to keep the Cameroon international, the player now appears ready to pen a new contract until 2010 which will see him earn around €5.5m a year.
