Milan submit Carlos Tevez proposal

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez could well be on his way to AC Milan in January, as the Italian club claim they have agreed a loan deal with the player – which they have sent to the Etihad Stadium for approval.

The want-away forward was disciplined after apparently refusing to enter the field of play in the Premier League leaders’ 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and then went AWOL, returning to his homeland without the permission of his employers.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has stated that both the Scudetto holders and the player want the deal to be completed, and it is now up to City to decide.

“Between yesterday and today I laid a few bricks to reinforce an already formidable squad,” Galliani told Milan’s TV Channel.

“I’ve been in my office with Tevez’s agent and the situation is clear. Milan have an agreement with the player and just now we sent a proposal to Manchester City: a free loan with right to buy at certain conditions.

“Why should City accept that? He is not playing, he’s a great player and if he does well with us then we’ll buy him.

“I spoke to Carlitos and he wants to join us. Half the agreement is complete, now we await City’s response,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini has stated that although he is not involved in resolving Tevez’s future, it would be best if the South American was to leave.

“I don’t know what the situation is with Carlos at this moment,” Mancini said on Sky Sports News.

“I think that for us it is important to sell him. We can do this for him and for the club.

“If he has the chance to go to Italy, I am happy for him,” he stated.
