James Eto'o is undoubtedly the most impressive CSKA footballer this season, and logically, interest in him is growing with each passing day. The fact that he has not yet renewed his contract with the "Reds" makes him an even more desirable transfer target for a number of clubs.
Recently, it became clear that one of the leading teams in Belgium – Gent – is showing serious attention to Eto'o. The news was reported by journalist Saiden Romero on the "X" platform, noting that he is well-acquainted with the plans and interests of clubs from the Netherlands and Belgium.
The "Indians" are looking very seriously at the chance to sign the "Army men's" star, as they face the task of building a renewed squad for the next season. At the same time, however, "Gent" will not be alone in the battle for Eto'o's signature – competition is expected from clubs in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
Against this backdrop, the Belgian league is entering its decisive phase. Two rounds before the end of the season, "Gent" occupies sixth place with 28 points – the same as fifth-placed "Mechelen". "Anderlecht" is in fourth position with 30 points. It is between these three teams that it will be decided who takes the final direct spot for participation in European club tournaments.
The team that finishes in fifth place will have to go through a play-off to secure a spot in Europe. This makes the battle for positions even more intense and further strengthens "Gent's" motivation to bolster their squad with quality footballers like James Eto'o.
The name of the Cameroonian ace has already been linked to interest from "Red Star", as well as other leading clubs in the Balkans. His performances in the CSKA kit logically place him at the center of transfer speculations ahead of the summer window.
