Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti remains confident he can tie up a deal for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o. Inter are negotiating with Eto'o and his agent with a view to bringing him to the San Siro in a swap deal which would see Zlatan Ibrahimovic move the opposite way. Inter will also receive 45 million euros and Alexander Hleb on a season-long loan. Moratti told the club's official website, www.inter.it: "Until things are wrapped up, there's nothing to say but I am confident. Eto'o is one of the most important players on the market." He added: "Along with Ibra, he's one of the most wanted. It's a good chance for us to have another champion." Moratti had nothing but praise for Ibrahimovic, who was the top scorer in Serie A last season. "He's a very serious professional. He has always behaved well with us," he said. "He helped us win the championship and he was top scorer last year."
