Are Barcalona Or Inter Milan Winning From the Eto'o/Ibrahimovic Transfer?

On July 17, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta claimed that Barcelona and Italian giant Inter Milan are negotiating a major transfer that would send Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona in exchange for Samuel Eto'o and Alexander Hleb going to Milan, as well as €45m.

Eto'o and Ibrahimovic are two of the best footballers on the planet, and both played key roles of their club's success last season.

However, with this transfer, a major question has now risen; which club is getting the better part of this transfer?

Is it Barcelona, who obtain a player in Ibrahimovic who was probably the best forward in Serie A last season, and will now join a team that last season became the first ever Spanish club to win the treble?

Or is it Inter Milan, who get a player in Eto'o who scored 35 goals in all competitions last year for FC Barcelona, as well as a one year loan of former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb, plus €45m in cash. 

Right now if this transfer is completed, Inter Milan will get the better part of the deal, Eto'o is truly one of the top strikers in world football and is proven in the UEFA Champions League, as Eto'o scored the winning goal in last year's Champions League final.

Also, Eto'o was unhappy at the Camp Nou, as manager Pep Guardiola tried to sell him during last summer's transfer window, and he was also linked with with English club Manchester City.

And, Inter will get a player in Hleb who will help Inter in their midfield. Hleb could become a major influence for José Mourinho's club next season, who will be aiming for success in Europe.

Even though Ibrahimovic is currently one of the top forwards in the world, he hasn't scored a single goal in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League. Despite his great talent, Ibrahimovic has never been able to win the Champions League.

However, Ibrahimovic could break out next season at the Camp Nou, playing alongside talented players such as Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Andrés Iniesta, this could finally provide him with the platform to score goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and could allow Ibrahimovic to become a better player than at Inter.
