Inter coach Jose Mourinho has revealed his delight with the Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Samuel Eto'o deal, claiming only a stupid coach would be unhappy with the transfer.

The mega-deal is virtually complete following developments between the clubs on Friday - the signatures and an official announcement are expected early next week. Mourinho has come out of the shadows to give his views on what he claims is a bigger transfer than Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

"Only a stupid coach would not be happy to have Samuel Eto'o and only a stupid coach would be happy to lose Ibrahimovic. I am very happy to have Eto'o," Mourinho told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"I thought Ibrahimovic would stay because I thought only Real Madrid would be crazy enough to go for him, instead it was Barcelona.

"I think this deal is extraordinary. It's worth €100 million. It's the deal of the summer.

"For me this is a €100m deal. Eto'o is worth as much as Ibrahimovic."

The Nerazzurri will receive around €48m and the Cameroon star for Ibrahimovic. The very latest reports suggest the deal may become official either on Monday or Tuesday. On Friday afternoon, after long negotiations between both clubs, Barcelona announced the deal as "complete".
