Tevez to AC Milan

[Rosco]

On loan initially

Manchester City's desire to sever their ties with Carlos Tevez will see Milan make an opening offer to take him on loan for the rest of the season before paying €20m (£17.2m) to sign him next summer.

Milan are aware that City want a permanent transfer in the January window, but the Italian club are hoping to negotiate a compromise for a player who has been on strike since 8 November.

The Serie A side have already agreed terms with Tevez and their vice-president, Adriano Galliani, said an official bid had now been emailed to City. "I hope that City accept our offer. I foiled a few enemies in Italy and Europe, though I can't say whom. We're in pole position now."

City will almost certainly reply that they are not willing to accept a loan arrangement but their manager, Roberto Mancini, reiterated there was no way back for Tevez in Manchester. "It is important to sell Carlos, for him and the club. If he has a chance to go to Italy I am happy for him."

Corriere dello Sport reported that Tevez had agreed a basic salary of £3.4m for this season, rising to £4.3m plus bonuses for the following three seasons. The latter sum is less than half his current salary in Manchester. "He's turning down a mountain of money," said Galliani. "He's not playing, he's a great player and if he does well with us we'll exercise the option. Tevez wants to join us, half the deal is done. Now we're awaiting a response from City."

Mancini, preparing for the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich that will determine whether City go through to the knockout stages or drop into the Europa League, also admitted for the first time that Kolo Touré could leave at the end of the season.

"At this moment he cannot go because we have some injuries and we need his experience but if he asks me in the summer: 'Boss, I want to leave because I want to play,' I will respect him as a man."

Mancini was speaking on the day it emerged Touré faces the possibility of becoming embroiled in legal action with the French magazine So Foot about an interview in which he was quoted saying African players were "the victims of discrimination".

Touré has escaped the possibility of internal punishment by telling City that great swathes of the interview were either fabricated or twisted and that he never claimed he was "the victim" of a system where playing in the African Nations Cup was so "catastrophic" that "coaches no longer want to sign players because of it".

His version of events has been accepted by Mancini but the denials have provoked counter-claims from France. Franck Annese, the So Foot journalist, told the Guardian: "I did the interview. If he says no, I will sue him. You can write it in your paper. We have got the evidence that he did it. Everything has been recorded."

Fine they probably don't need Pato anymore. Didn't Pato say he was a boyhood red? Hmmm, hmmm?

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

I believe Aguero was the boyhood red.

 

[Insignificance]

So if he stays City won't need Aguero anymore?? 8)

 

[Ossi]

They got Zlatan cheapish, a good deal on Aquilani and now perhaps a smart deal for Tevez.

 

[Hansern]

Do they really need him though? Pato, Ibrahimovic, Robinho. If they're getting Tevez, I would love to sign Pato. Special player.

 

[Ossi]

They play with 3 attackers and with Cassano sick they need another striker. Pato and Robinho hasn't been very good this season either. Inconsistent

£20million for Pato? Join fellow Brazillians in Lucas and Aurelio and Doni... please?

Indeed. Nocerino (5 goals in 12 games) for 500k too. Then there was the Robinho deal at half the price he was signed and how the transfers of the likes of Boateng have turned out to be. Adriano Galliani's work is pretty impressive.

Why was Nocerino so cheap?

Milan’s Antonio Nocerino has told the Corriere dello Sport that he doesn’t understand why Palermo opted to get rid of him.

The midfielder was sold on transfer deadline day to Milan for just €500,000 given that he was in the final year of his contract.

“I’m still not sure why Palermo allowed my contract to run down into its last 12 months,” the Italian international noted.

“I wasn’t at an age or had significant enough wages which would have forced Palermo to sell me in that way.

“I don’t know if there was someone there who didn’t believe in me. I was disappointed at the start as I left behind some good friends.”

Nocerino, who scored a hat-trick against Parma on Wednesday, added: “You’ll have to ask President Maurizio Zamparini about the decision.

“I was expecting to sign an extension to my contract and I was ready to. It looks like it was my fault that I left, that I wanted more money or that I wasn’t happy. All of that is not true.”

Despite being surprised by his move, the former Juventus player maintains that he’s now happy at Milanello.

“Things are going incredibly well,” he added. “I’ve been here for two months, but it seems as if I’ve been here for three or four years…”

 

[Hansern]

Nocerino has been fantastic. Marchisio at Juve is another player that has really stepped forward this season.

 

[Ossi]

Isn't it Palermo who has had an enormous amount of players coming and going?

 

[Hansern]

Palermo are nearly as good as Udinese at descovering talen, signing them cheap and then selling them on for a shitload of cash.

Abel Hernandez and Josip Ilicic will be next.

 

[Roopy]

More master dealing by Galliani at Milan.

Ibra 20M
Robinho 20M
Tevez 20M
Thiago Silva 10M
Cassano 1M
KP Boateng 5M

& now perhaps Tevez for 20M?

Hmm not sure what Milan's plans are for the summer, I'm pretty sure they'll be snapping up Marek Hamsik at the end of the season, and he will definitely not be available on the cheap.

I would love to sign Pato. Special player.

A fantastic player, would love him at LFC too 🙂

But when you're playing for Milan, and you're girlfriend is the daughter of the most powerful man in Italy - I see no reason for him to leave Milan any time soon lol.

Carlos Tevez has reportedly told the media in Argentina he “only wants Boca Juniors” rather than Milan or PSG.

The Manchester City striker agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri last week, but it seems as if he has already changed his mind.

“Milan? I only want Boca Juniors,” he was quoted as telling newspapers in Argentina.

“I am tired of travelling to and from Europe. You can be certain I’m never going back to England.

“I want to play the Copa Libertadores with Boca and am prepared to give up large sums of money to make this happen.”

Only this evening Milan President Silvio Berlusconi reiterated the offer to take Tevez on loan would not be increased, even though Paris Saint-Germain have proposed a more financially advantageous package.

Inter bid 25m Euro for him tonight.

Interestingly, their president was quoted saying they are up against interest from an English side for his signature.
Us or Spurs?

Oh, right, so when's the press conference/reveal ?

 

[vantage]

I said we made enquiries, nothing more. So shut yer hole.

 

[themn]

So, are we in the frame to sign Carlos Tevez ?

 

[vantage]

I have no idea but it seems unlikely given his latest quotes about not returning to Ingerlund. We enquired about taking him on loan for 6 months.

 

[Halmeister]

How do you know this Vantage?

I hate Carlos Tevez. Horrible little twat. Don't want him anywhere near our club. The sooner he fucks off out of the country the better.
