MANCHESTER, England (AP):

Samuel Eto'o looks set to snub Manchester City's "stratospheric" offer for the Cameroon striker.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said City is looking to make Eto'o the highest-paid player in the world and a £25 million (US$41 million) bid has been lodged by the Premier League club.

But Eto'o's agent has indicated that the player will see out the final year of his contract before leaving Barcelona on a free transfer next year.
