Anzhi Makhachkala striker Samuel Eto'o is reported to be keen on a two-month loan return to Inter Milan in January.
Eto'o left for Anzhi in a £20 million deal this summer but, as the Russian championship breaks in January and February and Cameroon have failed to qualify for the African Nations Cup, he would be free for a brief return.
The Gazzetta dello Sport claims Eto'o has been in touch with Inter president Massimo Moratti to offer his services as the club still have a vacant non-EU spot. Should the move go ahead, he could feasibly feature in nine Serie A games and a Champions League tie.
Inter have struggled in the striker's absence, taking just four points from five Serie A games in what has been their worst start to a season in 28 years.
"Eto'o is one of the strongest players in the world," former Inter striker Alessandro Altobelli told the Corriere dello Sport. "He can't be replaced.
"His exit is a problem for Inter because Eto'o, especially last season, covered up their problems with his goals. Without him those difficulties have surfaced. Someone like him made a difference in Italy."
Eto'o, 30, scored 37 goals in all competitions for Inter last season.
