Samuel Eto’o and his lawyer are in Italy, to explain their €400,000 claim against Sampdoria.
The forward claims the Blucerchiati still owe him severance pay from his brief spell in Genoa last season, something the club deny.
“I’ve always tried to be nice throughout my career,” Eto’o explained in a Press conference.
Samuel Eto’o and his lawyer are in Italy, to explain their €400,000 claim against Sampdoria.
The forward claims the Blucerchiati still owe him severance pay from his brief spell in Genoa last season, something the club deny.
“I’ve always tried to be nice throughout my career,” Eto’o explained in a Press conference.
“I think gallantry is priceless, and when there’s something to be said you must say it. I’ve always struggled against these situations in my career, and I don’t want this to drag on.
“I only ask [Sampdoria President Massimo] Ferrero, who I and my entourage put a lot of faith in, to do what’s right.
“I hope that all the messages I’ve received from the President are backed up by concrete facts. I have always believed in the President, and I still do.
“I heard from him a week ago, he sent me a beautiful picture of the two of us together. Then I sent him a strong message, but that will stay between us.
“I want to resolve this situation, above all for a great team like Sampdoria. I hope this kind of thing never happens again in football.”
The player’s manager claimed that Eto’o had waived money we was owed when signing from Everton, so Samp could sign Fabrice Olinga, who was never registered.
