Eto'o would take Real Madrid icon Ramos to Barcelona & remains confident on Messi contract

The legendary Cameroonian frontman, who spent time with the Blancos and Barca as a player, sees an Argentine great staying put

Samuel Eto'o claims he would snap up Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos if put in charge of Barcelona, and remains confident that Lionel Messi will commit to a new contract at Camp Nou.

One iconic figure in Spanish football is readying himself for a change of scenery this summer, with World Cup winner Ramos severing ties with Real at the end of his contract and a 16-year stint at Santiago Bernabeu.

Various landing spots have been mooted for the 35-year-old, with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain seemingly leading the chase, but Eto'o says he would have looked into putting a controversial deal in place that allowed the legendary centre-half to cross a Clasico divide.
