The 35-year-old joined the Serie A outfit in January 2015 and signed a three-year contract but left the club after just six months to join Antalyaspor.
However, it seems his old club still owes him money and he is running out of patience to solve the dispute.
"There is an awkward situation between myself and the club," Eto'o said, as quoted by Football Italia.
"This phone-call is necessary to announce that I'll hold a press conference that may be painful for the Doria supporters. However, it's something I really must do.
"I want to be clear that I was always a gentleman with Sampdoria and I have always been treated as such. But the point is that there is a serious default, which I've been waiting to be sorted for nine months, and my patience has come to an end.
"I'm not just talking about the economic side, there were other parts to the deal. I haven't been able to contact anyone at Samp for two weeks now."
Sampdoria, meanwhile, have rubbished Eto'o's claims as a club lawyer announced on Sunday.
"The contract was perfectly resolved. I have all the paperwork," Antonio Romei told Sport Mediaset.
"If anything, it's Sampdoria who lost €100,000 when they paid Everton to have him come in six months early.
"I don't know why he's saying these things. He was the one who was in a hurry to leave and go to Turkey."
