Samuel Eto'o will not be going to Liverpool this summer because the Premier League club cannot afford his extensive personal demands.
Liverpool are not interested in signing Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o this summer because they cannot meet his personal demands, according to a report in Sport.
The Reds have been linked with a bid for the Cameroonian striker as Rafael Benitez looks to celebrate penning a new long-term contract by adding some more quality to his squad.
Eto'o's contract at Barcelona runs out in 2010 and speculation is rife about whether he will sign a new deal or whether he or the club will decide a change is in their best interests.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has stated that he would like the striker to stay, however, he is also unsure about the demands that the club's free-scoring forward will make.
Last summer Eto'o was told he could leave but all interested parties baulked when he demanded up to €9 million-per-season. That could put off would-be suitors this time around.
Sport believe that the 28-year-old would ask Liverpool for at least €7.5m and that would be enough to scupper the deal as it would dwarf Fernando Torres' €5.4m-per-year contract.
Eto'o told the French press recently that he has already decided what he will do at the end of the season and has this week stated that he is not interested in joining Inter, who are also monitoring his situation.
