Heard any rumors? Let us know by adding a comment at the bottom of the page or check out CNN’s guide to the 20 most wanted football players: Samuel Eto'o's departure from Barcelona has been a hot topic over the last few weeks and the momentum shows no signs of abating. Now AC Milan are keen to sign the Cameroon hot-shot after vice-president Andriano Galliani has admitted to the club's Web site the African is still top of the Rossoneri's shopping list. Eto'o's contract runs out in a year's time. ![]() Eto'o could be Milan bound according to Milan chairman Galliani. Elsewhere, the hunt is back on for Manchester United. Alex Ferguson could be about to splash some of his new-found wealth on Real Madrid's Klaas Jan Huntelaar. The Sun reports that United will put in a $32m bid for the Dutchman, who has been left out in the cold following Los Merengues' purchase of the three “galactico” musketeers of Kaka, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. Could Ronaldo’s official unveiling last night spell the end for Huntelaar's stay at the Bernabeu? Meanwhile, the new boss of Stamford Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti is looking to add a little Dutch flavor to his bland English fare. After revealing to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich that his club is a bit boring, the Italian maestro has been given the OK to bring in some "creative" players, or so The Daily Telegraph claims. The one that has caught his eye is Wesley Sneijder of Real Madrid, but that is only if Franck Ribery cannot be persuaded to join the Blues. Switching gears, let's move to Spain, where David Villa has decided to take a calmer approach to get what he wants. The Valencia striker will discuss his future and try to push for a move to his boyhood club Barcelona by meeting with Vicente Soriano, who recently regained control of the club. El Mundo Deportivo reveals that even though Soriano promised Villa last year he could leave if the right offer came, it seems he might be going back on his word. Will Soriano muster the courage to dip his toe in the transfer market waters? Over in Italy, it is the battle of the Laziale, as both Roma and Lazio duel it out for free agent Julio Cruz. According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the Giallorossi are shopping for a new striker who can find the back of the net, and it seems Cruz fits that profile to a tee. However, both clubs will have to relieve themselves of some extra weight if they want to fit Cruz into their squad. Finally, midfielder Seyi Olofinjana might have to pull out his shades if he makes a move from weather beaten Stoke to fun-in-the-sun Monaco . According to L'Equipe, the French side have put down an offer of $5m for the Nigerian, who seems pleased by the interest. Paris Saint Germain and Marseilles have also revealed their interest in the Potter boy, but for the moment Olofinjana seems content to stick around in England with coach Tony Pulis and the boys.
