Last summer, Samuel Eto'o seemed to be on his way out of Camp Nou. Having fallen out of favour with the previous regime, the African striker was deemed surplus to requirements at the club and expected to be shifted on.
However, with Pep Guardiola at the helm, Eto'o has gone on to enjoy one of his most productive seasons to date in La Liga, with 23 strikes to his name at this current moment in time.
Eto'o cuts a more familiar figure to fans of the Blaugrana, with his lethal abilities matched by a broad smile. In short, he is thriving in a successful team.
Doubts remain however, about how long Eto'o will be wearing the fabled blue and red strip though, with rumours and speculation about his future refusing to disappear under the surface.
Seemingly put out at Barca's willingness to cast him aside last summer, Eto'o is rumoured to bear a grudge against some of the higher-ups at the club, and is ready to leave them frustrated by refusing to commit to a new long-term deal.
So far, the club have made all the right noises about wanting to keep the player but he himself has declared his love for Real Mallorca in the past few weeks, and stated that he would like to finish his career there. As well as this, Eto'o is known to harbour ambitions to ply his trade in France's Ligue 1.
The question then, for readers, is Will Samuel Eto'o Leave Barcelona This Summer?
Should the club look for a transfer fee in the net window rather than risk losing their asset for nothing in 2010?
