Barcelona Pep Guardiola has been won over by striker Samuel Eto`o in preseason training this month.
After earlier declaring he wanted Eto`o sold, Guardiola has now been convinced of Eto`o`s value and is expected to publicly confirm his U-turn upon the club`s return from their New York visit.
For his part, Barca
president Joan Laporta is convinced Eto`o still has a big role to play at the Nou Camp.
"I have very good feelings about Eto`o," said Laporta. "I am very proud of the attitude the player is showing because he is a footballer with great qualities and an excellent person with whom I maintain a great relationship.
"In the coming days we will make a final decision."
