this is it from my point of view.
Real Madrid had 2 way discussions with City in the summer. City talked about Higuain and a few others, Real talked about Tevez. Nothing was agreed on either side but Kia's eyes lit up and he sensed another payday. So he starts talking to Carlos about it on a regular basis. City try to pacify Carlos with the captaincy and some new signings, as Carlos is still unhappy about the Hughes sacking, no Champions League football and he isn't convinced about Mancini.
City do well, but Kia is getting frustrated by the boardroom's cracking down on him, so starts trying to convince Carlos that he should force a move through to Madrid. Kia plays on Carlos's homesickness, by telling him that he's far more likely to get his family to come back over if he's in a warmer, more familiar spanish speaking country, though really Kia is only interested in his big final payday from his main asset through a big money deal to Real. Carlos agrees and signs off and hands in his transfer request, vetted and prepped by Kia, and City rebuke it. Kia angry, puts out a statement with Carlos's name on, but unfortunately this only shows himself up as the one who has the issues with the board, not Carlos. Carlos and Kia leg it to Tenerife to escape press attention, City laugh off statement.
I think that's where we are at.
