MILAN: Carlos Tevez’s agent says a move to AC Milan is the Argentina striker’s preferred option as he seeks to end a controversial spell at Manchester City, according to an Italian newspaper.
Kia Joorabchian had a two-hour meeting with Milan vice president Adriano Galliani at the club’s headquarters on Thursday.
“It was a constructive dialogue which left me feeling happy,” Joorabchian was quoted as saying in an interview published Saturday in Gazzetta dello Sport. “Milan is the best solution at the moment, his first choice. Carlos wants to wear the Milan shirt.”
City manager Roberto Mancini has said that Tevez’s decision to return to Argentina without permission had ended any hope the forward had of playing for the Premier League club again.
Tevez has still not returned to Manchester and recently missed a scheduled meeting with the Premier League leaders to discuss his future.Mancini refused to answer questions about the matter in his weekly news conference Friday.
“In reality the problem is only with Mancini, not with the club,” Joorabchian added. “Carlos has been clear with the club, the only consequence was a fine.
“However, it’s obvious they’re interested in resolving the situation.”
Massimiliano Allegri’s team is not the only option in Italy for Tevez. Juventus is also said to be interested but a meeting with the player’s representatives on Friday was reportedly postponed. (Agencies)
