Barcelona to keep Samuel Eto'o
Samuel Eto'o
Eto'o has scored 20 goals in La Liga this season

Spanish club Barcelona say Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o will not be leaving the club at the end of the season.

English champions Chelsea were reported to have made a world-record US$88 million bid for the Cameroon striker earlier this month.

But the Spanish champions insist that Eto'o is not for sale.

Coach Frank Rijkaard says their attentions are focused on strengthening their attacking options rather than letting players leave the Nou Camp.

However, club president Joan Laporta is reportedly looking to lure Arsenal's Thierry Henry which might put Eto'o's place in danger.

But manager Rijkaard insists he does not want to lose his top scorer.

"The club has no intention of selling as good a player as Eto'o.

"Eto'o is very happy at Barca and has said nothing to me about wanting to leave."
