Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o has rejected speculation linking him with a possible move to England.[LNB]Moneybags Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in the Cameroon international.[LNB]However, Eto'o insists he would any overtures from other clubs as he has no plans to leave Camp Nou.[LNB]"Let me ask you something," Eto'o told the Daily Mail. 'If you were playing in this Barcelona team the way it is playing, would you want to leave for anywhere else in the world?[LNB]"If you think about that question logically you will get your answer. But just to be clear, I have no intention of leaving.[LNB]"For me, we have the best attacking force in world football. It is an honour to play in this team with so much talent. I have been very pleased with my own scoring form this season, but it remains that I could not reach the levels I do without so much talent around me.[LNB]"The service I get is exceptional and we play with no fear. Some of the players in Barcelona's attack will go down in football history and sometimes you need to take a[LNB]minute and have a think about just how special this team is."[LNB]Barcelona face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League next week and Eto'o believes the Spanish side are good enough to upset the English dominance of recent seasons with Manchester United and Arsenal also in the last four.[LNB]"We believe we have the ability to win the European Cup, but at the same time we understand how hard it will be," added Eto'o[LNB]"The English teams are all very strong, and they will make things very difficult for us. [LNB]"We will approach every game giving the teams respect, but at the same time believing we will have victory if we perform well."[LNB]
