A club official told this website that they expect the Cameroon international to pen a short-term contract this week to allow him to appear in the Asian Champions League.
The transfer is reported to make Eto'o one of the highest earning players in the world if he accepts and his arrival in Uzbekistan - originally supposed to be just for promotional purposes - has pushed the deal even closer.
"He is is Tashkent and will sign a contract tomorrow," the Kuruvchi official told Goal.com. "He will sign for three or six months, we will have to see about that.
"It is a big signing in the world of football and, of course, for all people in Uzbekistan. He will play in the Asian Champions League and then we will see."
Eto'o has been told that he is no longer part of Barcelona's plans and along with the usual list of big name clubs aspiring to sign him was one unusual offer.
According to reports, the striker was offered the chance to become one of the best paid footballers ever with a contract worth €40m on the table if he chose to go to Uzbekistan.
L'Equipe have quoted the club as denying that the amount is that high, but confirming that a bid had been made and it was now down to the player to choose.More on the news over here : http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=780118
