With a £50million price tag and Tevez's £250,000-a-week wages,
that will not be easy.
ROBERTO MANCINI wants Carlos Tevez out of Manchester City as
soon as possible.
SunSport revealed yesterday that Tevez is desperate to quit
England to stay with his young daughters.
City are now sick of the whole Tevez saga, which began a year
ago, and fed-up Mancini will not fight to keep his skipper as he
did last December.
Instead, boss Mancini wants the club to find a buyer as quickly
as possible and release funds to beef up City's squad for a tilt at
the title and Champions League.
With a £50million price tag and Tevez's £250,000-a-week wages,
that will not be easy.
But a bid is expected from one or both Milan clubs to take the
Argentine striker to Serie A.
Tevez, 27, spoke to City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak this week
to explain why he wants out, insisting he misses his kids. But
Khaldoon did not beg him to stay and the club believe it is all a
ploy to get a big-money move.
Tevez has recently been reunited with his partner Vanesa, who is
mother to their two daughters Katie, 6, and 18-month-old
Florencia.
They spent a lot of time together in Argentina - where the
striker is playing in the Copa America - and Tevez cannot bear the
family being apart again.
Tevez claims he tried to persuade Vanesa to join him in
Manchester so he could see out the final three years of his
contract but she refused. He believes she would be happier in Spain
or Italy where the family could be together.
Tevez first said he wanted to move last summer, just one season
after he quit bitter rivals United to join City.
Meanwhile, City will today confirm the £7m signing of Montenegro
centre-back Stefan Savic from Partizan.
Savic, 20, had a medical yesterday and will sign a four-year
deal.
It's now Goodbye to City?
