Roberto Mancini, the Manchester City manager, has told Carlos Tévez that he should leave the club in the summer if he is not happy.
Rumours have surfaced in recent weeks that the Argentina striker has become increasingly disillusioned with life at City under Mancini and could fight for a move if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League this season. Real Madrid are among several teams linked with the player.
Tévez, whose 22 league goals this season have kept City in the hunt for fourth place, criticised Mancini before the defeat by Manchester United, his former team, this month and said that the club’s owners had made the wrong decision in sacking Mark Hughes as manager in December.
But while Mancini will not welcome the distractions before a vital ten-day period that will not only determine the club’s fate but also his future as manager, the Italian said yesterday that he would not stand in Tévez’s way if the forward requested to leave.

World’s richest club must pay for bad planning
City have nine 'keepers. Why bring in another?
“If a top player is not happy to stay, it’s better to go to another team,” Mancini said. “This is not just the case for Tévez but for all players. This is the same for Tévez, for Manu [Emmanuel Adebayor], for me, for all.”
City play at home to Aston Villa tomorrow and Tottenham Hotspur, another rival for Champions League football, four days later before a trip to West Ham United on the final day of the season, and Mancini is urging Tévez to put aside any differences until after those matches. “Afterwards we can decide if he has a problem,” he said.
Asked if Tévez needed Champions League football, Mancini said: “Probably. All the players want to play in the Champions League, but the important thing is to win with a club that has not won anything for a long time.
“This is more important than winning with Real Madrid and Barcelona, who win every year. Changing the history of this club is another thing.”
City are planning to bid for Fernando Torres, the Liverpool striker, during the summer, but even if they spend heavily, as expected, during the close season, it seems unlikely that they would just stand back and allow their best player, for whom they paid £47 million, to leave 12 months into a five-year contract.
The situation with Tévez is further clouded by the uncertainty surrounding Mancini’s own future as there are no guarantees that the former Inter Milan coach will stay at the club even if City finish fourth.
Mancini said that he had spoken to Tévez to discuss the player’s complaints about the manager’s apparent insistence on double training sessions.
“What we said is private,” Mancini said. “I reminded him that he only had to train twice in a day once. I don’t know if he has a problem, but he works very well now.”
Shay Given, the goalkeeper, may miss the start of next season after undergoing a complex three-hour operation in London on Wednesday to reconstruct his left shoulder after an injury suffered during the goalless draw away to Arsenal last Saturday. City also have doubts over Gareth Barry (hamstring) for the Villa game.

It started out that he was "unhappy" by the sun or something similar. This is the times aswell. I just ignore what is put in the media.Cos most is always bullshit.

its just if when it comes for summer and half our team want to be off that it could seem that mancini isnt keeping his players happy. is been well documented that tevez and others arent happy with mancinis training methods, leaving them too tired and fatigued.
“If a top player is not happy to stay, it’s better to go to another team,” Mancini said. “This is not just the case for Tévez but for all players. This is the same for Tévez, for Manu [Emmanuel Adebayor], for me, for all.”
Finally a manager that has the same thoughts as the fans on this subject.
I'd hate to see tevez leave, but I'd hate to see him play, whilst not wanting to play for us.

If it came down to a choice bye bye Carlos. That applies to any other player who isn't happy. It's a managers job to manage.
