Barcelona want Samuel Eto'o's future to be decided before next week's Champions League qualifier.
Eto'o has been told that he will be allowed to leave the Nou Camp over the summer, but has yet to reach an agreement with any clubs.
The Cameroon striker has been linked with moves to both the Premier League and Serie A, and is wanted by "four or five" teams, according to Txiki Begiristain.
However, Begiristain is keen for the matter to reach a quick resolution ahead of Barca's game against either Beitar Jerusalem or Wisla Krakow in a week's time.
"The date limit we have set to decide the future of Samuel Eto'o is the 12th August," Begiristain told reporters in New York.
"The days are going past and the market closing.
"If there is a decision, the best solution would be to do so before the Champions League preliminary.
"We are looking at reactions and above all watching to see how Pep (Guardiola) sees himself with the group and with the player."
Samuel Eto'o Fils born at March 10, 1981 in Douala, Cameroon. He is a versatile player who, in addition to being a prolific scorer, is also known for his playmaking and defense. He is the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations, with sixteen goals; he is also the record holder in number of appearances by an African in La Liga.
Eto'o earned his first cap with Cameroon at age 14 on March 9, 1996, in a 5-0 friendly loss to Costa Rica. In 1998, he was the youngest participant in the 1998 FIFA World Cup at the age of 17 years and three months. Eto'o scored his lone goal of the 2002 World Cup when he netted the game-winner against Saudi Arabia during the group stage.
