Samuel Eto'o is set to become the highest-paid player in football history after Internazionale agreed terms on his transfer to Anzhi Makhachkala.
.The striker is set to earn a reported 25 million euros per year (£21.8m), sending him well clear of multi-millionaire stars such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero.
He is due for a medical on Wednesday in Makachkala, in the troubled southern Russian region of Dagestan, and will sign a three-year contract.
A statement on the Russian club's official website read: "Today an agreement was reached between the football clubs, Anzhi and Inter, for the transfer of Samuel Eto'o. The terms of the transfer are completely agreed on both sides.
"Anzhi expresses gratitude to the leadership of Inter Milan for their professional and constructive approach in the negotiations."
Anzhi are owned by billionaire Suleyman Kerimov, and have made an impressive recruitment spree, bringing in stars such as Brazil legend Roberto Carlos and ex-Chelsea winger Yuri Zhirkov.
Eto'o, 30, made his name in Spain with Real Madrid and Real Mallorca before winning the 2006 and 2009 Champions League with Barcelona. He joined Inter in 2009 and won a Serie A, Italian Cup and Champions League treble in his first season.
Now thats a canny bit of dough for kicking a bloody football.......
Whats it a week.
