Eto'o made personal plea to Real Madrid's Calderon

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has known for almost a month that Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o wants to return.

AS says the pair bumped into eachother on June 29 in Vienna and during the friendly conversation, Eto'o pleaded: "Take me to Madrid, president!"

"Please president, please do what you can. What happened in the past is already forgotten and I have many friends there. If Madrid came for me, it would make me very happy"

Calderon discussed the exchange with confidants before Spain's clash with Germany during the European Championships.

The Real president poured cold water on the prospect of landing Eto'o yesterday: "I do not know where this comes from. I expect that Barcelona, of course, would never sell to Madrid. There is no case."
