Real Madrid have completed the outright signing of striker Sammy Eto`o.
The Cameroon international is now a Real player after Mallorca`s 50 per cent of his registration was bought by the Madrid giants.
Eto`o has already held talks with Real president Florentino Perez about his future,
as he does not want to leave again on-loan.
Perez is keen to send Eto`o back to Mallorca for a season until Roberto Carlos gains his Spanish passport.
Either way, Eto`o will not be joining Barcelona, despite the player`s ambition. Real have priced Eto`o at £20 million - which is too rich for Barca`s current transfer budget.
