Therefore this report, including the financial data, does not have to be considered accurate and is unfounded."
Asked about the rumours, Roma manager Luciano Spaletti had said earlier today at a press conference that Roma simply couldn't afford this transfer: "I mentioned the name before and I have requested for him and Zambrotta. They are both great players but it's just not possible since their salaries are out of our reach. The Eto'o story is not true."
