President Massimo Ferrero confirms Samuel Eto’o’s departure, but ‘the doors of my Sampdoria are always open’.

The Cameroonian striker only joined the Blucerchiati in the January transfer window, but has decided to join Antalyaspor in Turkey.

“President Massimo Ferrero and all at Sampdoria salute Samuel Eto’o, who has terminated his contract with Sampdoria,” a statement on the club’s official website announced.

“Goodbye great man, we went along with your will, between football men it’s not hard to understand, just a handshake.

“It was a pleasure and an honour to have you with us, to see you on the field in the most beautiful shirt in the world, and now we sincerely wish you the best for the rest of your enchanting career.

“Remember, for champions like you the doors of my Sampdoria are always open.

“Forza Eto’o, and forza Samp always, your President, Massimo Ferrero.”
