"The most important thing for me now is to win the Champions League," Eto'o told a news conference.

The 24-year-old, who scored 24 goals last season, turned down an offer to join English champions Chelsea earlier this month.

Eto'o becomes the third first-team player to sign a contract extension at the Nou Camp since May, along with Portugal midfielder Deco and Spain midfielder Xavi.

Promising youngsters Damia Abella and Lionel Messi have also recently committed their futures to Barcelona.

Negotiations are reportedly continuing over improved contracts for coach Frank Rijkaard and Brazilian midfielder Ronaldinho.
