Inter Milan has reportedly reached a deal with Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of striker Samuel Eto'o, a deal that should make the Cameroon international the highest-paid soccer player in the world.
After several days of negotiations, Italian media reported Sunday that the two clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of $38.9 million, and that the deal will be formalized today.

Anzhi is expected to give Eto'o a three-year contract worth $28.8 million per season, surpassing the estimated $17.3 million that Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Real Madrid and the $15.1 million that Lionel Messi is paid by Barcelona.
Anzhi, from the southern Russian province of Dagestan, is owned by billionaire oil tycoon Suleiman Kerimov.

Eto'o, 30, is considered still in his prime. He already has won three Champions League titles - two with Barcelona and one with Inter - and is apparently excited about playing in the developing Russian league.
In Forbes magazine's latest list of the world's richest people, Kerimov's net worth was estimated at $7.8 billion, tying him for 118th place with Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi and family.

Manchester City on top: Manchester City moved to the top of the early-season standings in the English Premier League with a 3-2 win at Bolton.
David Silva, Gareth Barry and Edin Dzeko scored to give City a second win from two matches and first place on goal difference from the Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat Fulham 2-0.
Norwich drew 1-1 with Stoke in Sunday's other topflight game.

Ronaldinho lifts Flamengo: Ronaldinho scored from a free kick in the first half as Flamengo drew 2-2 with Internacional to move closer to the Brazilian league lead. Flamengo played with an extra man the entire second half and twice relinquished the lead, but the draw was still enough to put the popular Brazilian club within two points of Corinthians, which lost 2-0 to Figueirense at home Saturday.
