AC Milan have not given up hope of signing Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.
The Rossoneri are still looking to acquire a top-class forward for next season
after failing to finalise the transfer of Honduras striker David Suazo, who is
set to join city rivals Inter Milan from Cagliari.
Thierry Henry's arrival at Barcelona from Arsenal has now increased
speculation Eto'o could leave the Nou Camp this summer, with a switch to the
Barclays Premier League also rumoured.
Barca president Joan Laporta announced yesterday he intends to keep Eto'o, but
Milan president Silvio Berlusconi still has a glimmer of hope that the Cameroon
international will join them this summer.
'We hope to find a player suitable for the standards of Milan,' said
Berlusconi.
'We are already champions of Europe and we expect a lot from Ronaldo this
season.
'We will have to wait and see about Eto'o.'
