Tevez deal close, says Gill
United chief executive David Gill says the Reds are working round
the clock to sort out a deal to bring Carlos Tevez to Old
Trafford.
Gill says the situation is "overly complicated", but insists that
United remain confident of bringing the 23-year-old West Ham
forward to Manchester in "the next week or so".
We are working on it and clearly its complicated - overly
complicated in my humble opinion, he told Reuters news
agency.
And we are working, effectively, with four other parties in order
to sort it out: the player, West Ham, the companies who own his
economic rights and the Premier League.
The process is going on as we speak. The player is coming over to
Manchester and will have a medical some time this week.
"Obviously the deal is subject to sorting out all the paperwork,
but were very confident that that can be achieved in the course of
the next week or so.
Tevez was on the losing team as Argentina crashed to a 3-0 defeat
against Brazil in the Copa America final on Sunday. But, now that
the tournament is over, it frees him up to hopefully finalise a
move.
