  Spanish Club Lure Etoo Out of Retirement By Niyi Busari Racing Murcia have concluded plans to have former African Player of The Year, Samuel Etoo play for the club in their next month's Copa Del Rey clash with Levante. The fourth-division club believed they can lure the former Barcelona star out of retirement and play for them for the first time in the game. Samuel Etoo who retired from active football in September, 2019 may make a shock return to active football one year after if the deal sail through. Murcia president Morris Pagniello told Marca: "Right now I would say our chances of signing Samuel Eto'o are 50-50. "We will know next week whether we can sign him, but we have drawn up a Plan B if it's not possible. "We have various investors in Mexico and the United Arab Emirates who could fund the deal. "If we sign him, the coach is committed to picking him to play." Murcia hope to land Eto'o in time for their Copa del Rey clash with Primera Liga side Levante on December 16. They signed Paul Pogba's older brother Mathias, 30, as a free agent in August.
