But Eto'o welcomes the added competition and insists that he is fully focused on winning back La Liga with Barca.

"All the interest makes me feel good and proud, but I have not thought about being transferred to another club. I'm happy at Barcelona. I've lived all my live in Spain and it's a difficult country to leave - I can't think of leaving Spain nowadays."
Eto'o went on to praise he team-mates, who have welcomed top-class new signings such as Eric Abidal, Gabriel Milito and Yaya Toure into the fold alongside Henry.
