DBasia.news – Samuel Eto’o, Barcelona legend, also spoke about the transfer rumors accompanying Mohamed Salah. Eto’o suggested Mo Salah to go to Barcelona rather than Real Madrid.
In Eto’o’s long career as a professional footballer, the icon of Cameroon soccer has enjoyed its heyday together, Mallorca (2000-2004), Barcelona (2004-2009) and Inter Milan (2009-2011).
However, Eto’o – in fact – was formed from the Real Madrid academy (1996-1997) and appeared three times in the first team. So, the 38-year-old Qatar SC player knows how to compare the playing styles of Madrid and Barcelona.
If Mo Salah leaves Liverpool, Eto’o advises him to join Barcelona. According to him, the 27-year-old’s style of playing is more suitable in Barcelona than Real Madrid.
“Barcelona will be more suitable (for Mo Salah). Real has allowed me to leave Africa, but I know the playstyle of Barcelona and I think this is better for him,” Eto’o told BBC Sport.
“If he (Mo Salah) has the chance to play in the world’s best league, which comes from Spain, then he must sign a contract for Barcelona,” he added.
“Mo has everything needed to be one of the best players in the world,” he concluded.
Mo Salah has become the talk of European football lovers in the last two seasons. The former AS Roma player is often a differentiator for Liverpool in important matches, plus completing the deadly trident on the front lines with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
Kans moved Mo Salah to Barcelona, now, quite small because there is still Lionel Messi who has a typical play that is not much different: both legged left-handed and operating on the left side of the opponent’s defense.
