Eto`o ponders passport move (25.11.2004)
Samuel Eto`o is one of three players who have been asked to take up Spanish nationality by their La Liga club Barcelona.
The Catalan giants, currently top of the league thanks to Eto`o goals, want to clear the decks in order to sign new foreign players next season.
After almost a decade of living and working in Spain, the Cameroon striker will be eligible for a Spanish passport next year.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year is expected to have no objection to Barcelona`s request, which would see him counted as a local player next season.
However, Eto`o would not be eligible to play for the Spanish national team as he has already been capped by Cameroon at senior level.
The Mexico captain Rafael Marquez, who can obtain a Spanish passport a lot quicker because of a law that makes citizens of Latin American countries eligible for a passport after just three years of residence, has already agreed.
But there is still no answer from Ronaldinho, the Brazilian superstar whose form has catapulted Barca to the top of La Liga standings.
Eto`o, who moved from Real Mallorca in the off-season, was this week described by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca as the `new idol` of the Nou Camp - Barcelona`s home ground.
The Cameroon striker has scored 10 goals for Barca in the league and was central in the club`s 3-0 rout of Real Madrid in last Saturday`s showdown.
