West Ham United have confirmed that they have agreed a
deal for Carlos Tevez to leave the club.
The Hammers have revealed that they will receive £2million
compensation for the Argentine - who is now free to join Manchester
United.
The announcement brings to an end weeks of negotiations and
speculation about Tevez's future and also sees the threat of High
Court action ended.
"I am obviously pleased that we have finally reached the end of
this saga through agreement and common sense," said Hammers
chairman Eggert Magnusson
"All parties involved can now move on and truly focus on the new
season.
"I wish Carlos Tevez well for the next stage of his playing career.
He is a fine player and I am sure he will be successful wherever he
plays football.
"Personally, I am looking forward to the next stage of our
development as a club and for what I hope will be a very exciting
new season in the Premier League."
United are now expected to tie up Tevez on an initial two-year loan
deal from MSI for which they will pay around £8million.
After the two-year spell, they will have first option to conclude a
permanent transfer of the Argentine forward.
