United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to sign the Argentine
international on a permanent deal, as he is currently on-loan from
international investors’ group Media Sports Investment.
The former Corinthians star was strongly linked with a move to the
continent last summer before joining the Red Devils from West Ham,
having earned interest from the likes of Inter Milan and Real
Madrid.
Los Merengues are currently hot on the heels of United
winger Cristiano Ronaldo, who has yet to definitively commit his
future to the current English and European champions.
And now Tevez has thrown a spanner in the works by admitting he
hopes to play in La Liga, although he insisted he is content at Old
Trafford for the time being.
“Maybe one day I’ll play in the Spanish league but there’s a long
way to go,” said the 24-year-old.
“At the moment I am happy here. I know many South Americans prefer
to play in Italy or Spain when they move to Europe.
“But I’m happy here. It’s the best league in the world.”
