Premier League - City lead Tevez race

Eurosport - Thu, 25 Jun 10:07:00 2009

Carlos Tevez is considering offers from Manchester City, Chelsea and one other club, according to the player's adviser Kia Joorabchian.

After Tevez decided not to renew his contract with Manchester United, Joorabchian commented the Argentinian's future will be defined in "about 10 days" and hinted City were in pole position to sign the player.

Joorabchian told Radio del Plata: "Right now we are evaluating the proposals from Manchester City, Chelsea and one other team. In the next two weeks, Carlos, Adrian (Rouco, Tevez's agent) and I will meet to sort this out."

He added: "City is a club with most of the chances because they are building a big squad, but it is not a decisive point.

"The contract with United officially runs to until June 31 and we'll respect that. After July 1, we'll see. We may be defined in 10 days."

Last weekend, Tevez turned down a lucrative five-year offer to stay at Old Trafford, with Joorabchian making clear it arrived too late.

He said: "Carlitos has never asked United for money, he has never complained about his contract. It is not a problem regarding money, but we never talked about that in two years.

"In two years, (United manager Sir Alex) Ferguson always said we were going to sit down to negotiate but we never did so. He sent an offer, but it was too late because they had not offered anything in two years."

  1. city lead the race cos no one else thinks he's­ worth more than twenty million

  2. If i must say? I am highly disappointed in Sir Ferguson­ over the issue of tevez, after neglecting the­ hardworking Argentine, he now want's to pen him­ down and the player made a wise decision, he will be­ left to regret it. I must say good luck to Tevez with­ Man City next season we will never forget what you did­ for us the united fan.

  3. With City being a team on the up, the next three­ seasons will be considered golden years. It will be a­ great club to be around, with a fantastic atmosphere.­ Compare it to the Mourinho years at Chelsea and then­ consider the fact City got higher weekly attendence­ than the London crew when they were in the old third­ division. Imagine the support and feeling around the­ club when they finally break the silver deadlock.­
    Which means the players involved in this will gell and­ deposit long term loyalty there. Great players come and­ go, all of them earn more than they will ever need but­ very few go down in history. That is their motivation,­ the Ferraris and stuff are just toys. If things work­ out over the next three years, this team will acheive­ that. The City fans are so starved of success and yet­ so loyal, the team will not need to win a treble or­ even a double to be acclaimed.
    I can see Tevez­ becoming a 'City legend' if he signs.

  4. I'm looking forward to seeing Robinho and Tevez­ team up. Their styles will compliment each other very­ well. He will also take some of the 'marked­ man' pressure of Robinho that hindered him so much­ in the second half of the season.
    Such a partnership­ will be good for the spectator to watch and good for­ the team in the way of results. It will also be­ interesting in the fact that the Argentina X Brasil­ rivalry is perhaps the most bitter of all international­ football. Although both players are/should be­ professional enough to deal with it, I live in Brazil­ and travel a lot to Argentina and so know that the­ average Pedro on the street isn't.
    Training­ against Tevez will also benefit the City defenders as­ he looks to be (unlike Robinho) the type of player who­ gives 100% in all situations.
    Sign him!!

  6. When United were chanting "sign him" to Fergy­ i'm sure there was more than 1 fan singing it or is­ that all forgotten now? If he is taking this long to­ make his mind up he can go to Chelsea for me.

  15. Just wait and see he might just finish up at Liverpool­ who knows, When agents get into the act whats best for­ the agent seems to be the priority.

  16. Pegez, it depends on what you mean by­ "geographically". Manure were formed in­ Newton Heath and City in Gorton, so make your own mind­ up. They've both moved around since then, but I­ think even you will agree that as a percentage, more­ City season ticket holders are from Manchester than­ Manure fans, according to several surveys that have­ been done over the year.

    Back to Tevez......the thing­ with this is that we can never really know what has­ gone on or what is in Tevez's head. Sure, he may be­ leaving you lot for more money, but there seem to be­ other reasons too. Or maybe a combination of them? Who­ knows? One thing is certain, we will welcome him like a­ lost son and your lot will miss him. Like Rooney, he is­ a superb battling centre-forward. Any team would miss­ him.

  18. Plse Sir Alex Ferguson bring in Donovan of USA, a good­ midfielder and good replacement of Ronaldo and Tevez

    Rock and Roll Machine not biter at all. If he­ doesn't want to be there, fine. After he said he­ did. You would say the same if it were your club. As­ for City being the only true Manchester team, yeah sure­ - what have they won recently? If you saids that for­ geographical reasons then Bayern Munich are not from­ Munich either, since they are not in the city­ 'proper' but in a borough

  20. When Alex Ferguson said he was going to bring some new­ faces to Man Utd, Tevez was first in the queue saying­ how he would like one.
