Re: Carlos Tevez [Merged]
Corinthians target Carlos Tevez could move to the Brazilian Campeonato as early as January with Manchester City eager to offload.
The Argentine striker was on the bench for Manchester City's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena last night. With 30 minutes to go, Roberto Mancini called Tevez to enter the field of play but he refused to play.
Mancini said after the game that he will never play for City under him ever again fuelling speculation that he will leave. Despite Tevez claiming this morning that he didn't refuse to play and it was a misunderstanding, he has still confirmed he would like to leave the club.
Sambafoot understands two of his former clubs are in for his signature. Boca Juniors and Corinthians are both looking to sign him but it is believed Corinthians could have the upper hand.
They tabled several bids in the summer but ran out of time to seal the deal. However, they could afford to bring Tevez in for a transfer fee which Manchester City would be likely to accept, while Boca Juniors have no funds available.
The club are confident of being front-runners in the chase for his signature and could even get a cut price deal for the player. Tevez wants to move back home to Argentina but will accept moving back to South America if that is the only option.
However, one worry the club does have is that after the recent fallout, City could terminate his contract and release him on a free. This mean Boca Juniors would be able to afford his signature and even though he would have to take a huge pay-cut, it is believed he will do it to move back home.
