Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o is weighing up a shock move to Uzbekestan club Kuruvchi.

Eto'o has visited Uzbekestan for talks and will now consider the offer from the leaders of the Uzbek championship.

"I have several good offers from various clubs at present. I'm planning to return to Barcelona and starting from Saturday I will consider all my options, including the one from Kuruvchi," said the Cameroon international.

Kuruvchi are reported to have put together a highly lucrative package in a bid to entice Eto'o, who has been told he can leave Barcelona after four years at Camp Nou.

"We have made a very good offer and are quite serious of getting Samuel to play here," coach Mirjalol Kasymov told Kuruvchi's official website.

Eto'o, 27, has also been linked with a number of top clubs in Europe.
