Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon plans to make a shock move for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto`o.
DiarioSport says Calderon will send intermediaries to open talks with the Cameroon ace as soon as Barca indicate they`re putting the striker on the market.
Real directors were alerted to reports last week that Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain and coach Frank Rijkaard had agreed to cash
in on Eto`o after tonight`s final game of the season.
Despite Eto`o`s fractured relationship with his former club, Calderon is convinced the forward won`t hold a grudge against the new regime at Real and will consider their offer carefully, alongside rival bids from the likes of AC Milan, Inter and Arsenal.
Real powerbrokers are united in their bid for Eto`o and intend to pounce tonight after fulltime is blown on this season.
