Carlos Tevez

[sincity]

The only reason the Txiki would want to sell Tevez would be because of his exorbitant wages. Otherwise, he himself has no reason to leave, since Mancini left. It makes no sense to sell him for 20mil and then buy another player for 25-30mil who may or may not perform. It's going to be pretty hard to find an able replacement.
His performances have been as world-class as ever, even though his position now seems undefined (striker or playmaker).

If City are going to sell Tevez, we should be looking for the other side of 20mil (I would say 22-24mil would be ok). We did buy Nasri for 24mil on his last year of contract..

Carlos Tévez's days at Manchester City could be numbered. According to reports in French newspaper 'L'Equipe', Monaco already has a verbal agreement to sign the Argentine forward for the forthcoming season. Sources in France are tipping Tévez to be paired up alongside Radamel Falcao in attack if the Colombian ends up playing for the club, recently promoted to Ligue 1.

The Argentine player is under contract to Manchester City until 2014, but 'L'Equipe' says that Monaco has lured Tévez with a contract worth €10 million a season.

The French club's president, Russian millionaire Dimitri Rybolovlev, has not yet been in contact with Manchester City, but hopes to begin negotiations with the English team to ensure Carlos Tévez is wearing the Monaco shirt next season. The club's owner is looking to spend the summer completely overhauling the team and building a star-studded squad to go up against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league. Monaco's coffers are full to brimming in readiness to sign up new recruits.

Manchester City's Argentine striker touched down in the Premier League in 2006/07 to bolster West Ham's ranks. He also spent two campaigns at Manchester United, later becoming a 'Citizen' for four seasons. Monaco could be the next port of call for 'El Apache' Tévez.

How true is this, anyone?

Seems like he will be on his way this summer.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/8721890/Transfer-News-Carlos-Tevez-admits-lure-of-PSG-and-Monaco" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... and-Monaco</a>

The Manchester City striker, 29, is again the subject of intense speculation about his future and a move to France this summer is being widely tipped.

Asked by French television station Telefoot about the prospect of joining newly promoted Monaco, he confirmed he would be open to the idea.

"For me, Monaco is one of the largest French clubs, and any player would go there," he said.

"I have a one-year contract left at City and I am happy, and I love playing in the Premier League - but a project like Monaco I really like.

"I know [Claudio] Ranieri [Monaco coach] and he has proven he is a great coach so for me this would be great."

Likewise, he admits that PSG would equally be as desirable - a club he almost joined last season when he was in dispute with City.

"There was interest from PSG for me, and we talked with Leonardo, but we could not reach an agreement," he said.

"But it remains an interesting option as the French championship is moving very fast. If Leonardo called me, it's not a problem for me to come, really no problem to come to Paris and France."

Hope we get Van Persie money for him.

No chance, be lucky to get 15mil.

"I know [Claudio] Ranieri [Monaco coach] and he has proven he is a great coach so for me this would be great."...except that it's 99% certain that Ranieri won't be at Monaco next season. Also, to those wanting to keep Tevez, they seem to have overlooked that his contract expires at the end of next season and he will be able to go for free. We need to cash in now.

Well there is a change, hopefully Monaco splashes the cash for Tevez

£15m would be fair, imo.

Wasn't there an article somewhere where the president of Monaco (or someone else) said that they will stick with Ranieri for next season?

If we sell him to Monaco i believe we can milk that russian for more, he seem desperate to make an impact next season and players of Tevez caliber dont come around that often

We paid £24M for Nasri and he was in his last year.

we are little wise up now due to FFP (which will go to shit within 1 year!)... Monaco are new, ambitious and their billionaire is ready to spend some dough!

Can't see why we can't get £16-19M for him tbh... He is a beast on the pitch, scores and seriously one of our best players this season! A True match winner.

You are also forgetting 2 things... we sold Mario during the Jan window for £20M to ACMilan... (the most stingy, penny hogging team in the world)...

and secondly, but most importantly, Txiki and Ferran are at the helm of the negotiations...

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

I would like to see Tevez stay as he as mentioned is a quality player, however as we all know he wants to finish his career at Boca and with not long left on his contract we may have to sell to get a good fee on him, otherwise we let his contract run down and allow him to go to Boca to finish his career

We overpaid for Nasri. I know what Monaco are. Tevez has only scored 17 goals this season having spent months of last season playing golf in Argentina, leaving him with a measly 4 goals for the season.

Unlike RvP, Tévez is past his peak imo. £15m is fair for this 29-year-old with only a year left in his contract.

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

Great player, I would like to see him stay, at least another 12 months.

Fair enough as its your own opinion... but imo its a good thing you are not sat in the negotiations and it's Txiki and Ferran! :)

 

[NipHolmes]

No way we sell for 15m, Van Persie is injury prone and had a great season and sold for 24m. Nasri the same price.

The thing with Tevez is Monaco, PSG and Juventus want him. Most likely a French outfit will buy due to wages but we are in good position imo.
@joehannes, 17 goals when he's played as second striker come attacking midfield is a good return. He's assisted a few as well which furthers his stock.

 

[SupermanUnderpants]

One of our best players this season, shaped up since what happened last season and even then we don't know what fully happened, no one on here or any man city fan of any stature knows what really happened with last season.

You can never deny the effort and determination when he's been playing this year and for most of the time he has played since being with us. If you clone a full outfield team of Carlos then your winning everything most of time.

To slag the guy off is wrong, and when he does go we'll notice it because no one on our team runs around like he does, to Carlos there's never a lost cause.

Regardless of what happens I am happy he came to City and wish him and his family all the best.

 

[BlakeTheBlue]

His attitude and work rate this season have gone a long way into winning back a bit of my respect for him. If he is to leave in the summer then thanks for the effort and some great goal.

Let's hope with only a year remaining on his current deal we still get a good fee for him. Tevez is worth a good £20M - £25M at least and Mr Monaco has the money to pay it.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta confirmed that the Italian Serie A champions are in contact with Carlos Tevez in an attempt to sign the Argentine striker.

Marotta said Juventus could have some meetings with Tevez's team.

"It is clear that at this stage of the season agents step forward and I will not rule out a meeting in that sense. We could reach an agreement with them, but then we'd have to strike a deal with his club too."

"He wants to make up for lost time, as his years at Manchester City were not the best. We have not made any approach towards the English club," he said.

Marotta dropped hints that Juventus could sign Tevez ahead of Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain.

"Higuain is younger and is therefore worth more on the transfer market. Tevez is certainly an easier negotiation process, as his contract expires next summer," he said.

"We are trying to strengthen the attack for next season, so that is our primary objective. We're after players who suit our manager's style of play," he said.

Thanks for your contribution Carlos but it is time for us to move on.
