Manchester City are paying an astonishing £47 million fee to Carlos Tévez 's private "owners" in a move that obliterates the British transfer record. The deal makes the Argentina striker the fourth most expensive footballer of all time.
City's billionaire Arab owners have agreed to pay almost twice the £25.5 million fee widely reported to have changed hands, The Times can reveal. An initial £15 million payment is to be followed by two additional sums of £16 million.
Another £3.5 million will be paid if City win the Champions League while Tévez is at the club - an improbable scenario, but Sheikh Mansour has already shown the lengths to which he is prepared to go to transform the club from perennial underachievers into contenders for the biggest prizes.

Not a single goal or assist in the CL. Don't remember many important goals against top oppositions either. Phil Jones had him in his pocket at the swamp.
Don't think he had the motivation to win trophies anymore and it's probably best for both parties to move on.
