UNITED ON RED ALERT OVER TEVEZ
-
Though i don't think this deal will come close... Well, since its was reported i share it over here...
Manchester United target Carlos Tevez has revealed he wants to quit Brazilian club Corinthians for a move to Europe.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a long-term admirer of the Argentinian striker and could now make a move.
Tevez demanded a transfer after falling out with new coach and former Brazil goalkeeper Emerson Leao, according to the Daily Mirror.
The pair clashed after Tevez was stripped of the club captaincy because he cannot speak Portuguese.
Tevez is valued at around £25 million and United will face stiff competition for his signature from Bayern Munich and AC Milan.
He said: "This may have been my last game in the Corinthians shirt.
"I would like to stay but I have to think about what is better for me and my family."
His agent Adrian Ruocco confirmed: "Carlos wants to go to Europe."
When Corinthians signed Tevez in 2004, he attended a press conference wearing a United shirt and has never hidden interest in playing for the Red Devils.
Ferguson may hold the upper hand in the race to sign the World Cup star, given he has already admitted he supports the club and once turned up to a Corinthians press conference wearing a Manchester Unites strip. -
Tevez is a gem!! Sure hope the news is true and United manage to sign him! That would surely add meat to United's form upfront!

Well, yeah but i don't think the news is true... Just another rumour i guess.

-

hw come players are becoming more n more expensive... 25 Million? crazy sia
-

-
don't let ronaldinho incident happen again...just pay the 25 million and shut up...young and exciting player...worth the money...
only problem is how to fit him into a team with saha and rooney first choice strikers... -
Maybe Barcelona or Real might sign him...anyway i think he might prefer moving to a Spanish club too, especially since he could only speak spanish.

Manchester United and Chelsea target Carlos Tevez is refusing to play for his club Corinthians as he continues to be linked with a move to Europe.
The Argentine international featured at the weekend against Botafogo, but he then told the Brazilian media that he had played his last game for the club.
He is now back in Buenos Aires and does not look as if he is in a hurry to return to Brazil as he was pictured at a rock festival and a move to Europe seems to be the prime motivation behind his actions.
Tevez's unofficial departure has not gone down well with the club, but coach Emerson Leao is not overly concerned about the player's absence.
"Our relationship has never got started," said Leao.
"But it is still too early to say anything. I don't want this getting in the way of my job, I am here to coach the team.
"I need to improve Corinthians and the more good players I have, the better.
"I'm not going to make allowances for those that don't deserve it. I arrived only a short time ago and have a two-year contract.
"Tevez has missed other training sessions so this is nothing new. From what I have seen, the team played 45 games last year and he played only 24.
"Does anyone understand what Tevez says when he speaks, because I don't.
"He is a citizen who has to answer for his own actions and he has no reason for his absence.
"Corinthians received no official notice and we need to work with concrete, reliable facts."
Corinthians confirmed that Tevez was AWOL.
"Tevez has not appeared," said Corinthians spokesperson Luciano Signorini:
"He has not called to give any reason why he has missed training. We don't know what is going on with him."
New of Tevez's unrest is sure to alert Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho - both of whom have shown an interest. -
Carlos Tevez's agent has claimed that his charge is nearing a move to England.
Chelsea have been leading the chase in recent months, but Manchester United and Arsenal are also both known to be keen.
Tevez fell out with his Brazilian club Corinthians at the weekend when he walked out following their game with Botafogo - claiming he would not play for them again.
Corinthians coach Emerson Leao has not been shy in condemning the Argentine striker - who looks as if he could be on his way to Europe.
Adrian Rucco, Tevez's agent, admitted a move to The Premiership was on the cards.
"Tevez is very close to moving to an English club," said Rucco.
A host of clubs from Europe are interested in Tevez, with Milan and Bayern Munich also linked.
But Corinthians director Humberto Grondona confirmed that they were under the impression Rucco was setting up a move to England.
"I am convinced that Carlos will go away to some European league," Grondona told La Nacion.
"His representative, Adrian Rucco, was in Rome three days ago and now he has gone to England to look for a club for him."
Reports in France have already stated that Rennes have made contact with Chelsea about the possibility of taking Tevez on loan, should The Blues sign him and decide to let him leave immediately.
