Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o in a deal which is expected to make him the world's best-paid player.

Reports in Italy say Anzhi will pay Inter £21.8million (€25m) for the 30-year-old forward, and he is set to earn a staggering £17.9m (€20.5m) after tax for three seasons.

A statement on the Russian club's official website read: "Today an agreement was reached between the football clubs, Anzhi and Inter, for the transfer of Samuel Eto'o.

"The terms of the transfer are completely agreed on both sides."
