Jose Mourinho Is Delighted With Likely Samuel Eto'o Switch - Inter Chief Massimo Moratti

Jose Mourinho is smiling with delight at Samuel Eto'o's proposed arrival, according to Inter president Massimo Moratti.

Mourinho has been informed that the Nerazzurri have agreed terms with Eto'o. All that remains for the deal to go through is for an official announcement from both clubs.

Moratti has confirmed the 'Special One' is happy with the way the move is heading. The chief also confirmed Aliaksandr Hleb is part of the deal.

"I was scared when I read the papers this morning," joked Moratti with the press.

"I am always in touch with Mourinho and he is happy to have Eto'o. Mourinho didn't think that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would leave.

"I would be happy for Eto'o to join Inter but nothing is official yet.

"Is Hleb part of the deal? Yes."

Inter will receive a reported €48 million plus Samuel Eto'o, and Hleb will arrive on a year-long loan in exchange for Ibrahimovic.

Eto'o is expected to sign a five-year deal worth €10.5m plus bonuses on Monday.

The Italians are waiting for Barcelona to resolve some minor details before the move can become official.
