I find this one quite funny...yet at the same time if Berlusconi and Uncle Fester thought they could get away with it, I wouldn't put it past them.

Samuel Eto’o Could Leave Barcelona For Milan For Free In 2010 - Report
The Italian and Spanish press agree that ‘Samu’ could head to the San Siro next year on a free transfer…

AC Milan appear to have clearly outlined their plan to sign Samuel Eto’o from Barcelona without having to cough up a single Euro to the Catalans.
Sportmediaset.it has reported that the Rossoneri have already made their proposal to recruit the Cameroonian striker in 2010 when his contract runs out with the Blaugrana. And the player’s advisor, Josep Maria Mesalles has been informed of this deal after he was contacted by FIFA agent, Ernesto Bronzetti.
Barcelona-based Sport believes that the transaction will go through, as they speculate that Eto’o’s refusal to be transferred out at present is due largely to the offer tabled by the Milanese outfit.
Despite netting a handsome €64.5 million from Real Madrid for Kaka, Milan president, Silvio Berlusconi is reluctant to splash the cash straight away as he looks to stabilise the club’s financial status first. And it is possible that Eto’o could be offered the staggering contract he demands if he can be purchased for free.
It has also been reported that Milan could go for Luca Toni instead this season while they wait for Samu’s arrival next year.
