QPR chairman Tony Hernandez has said that there’s no truth in the rumours linking his club with Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.Carlos Tevez has become an outcast at Manchester City after being suspended by the club following his refusal to play in a match against Bayern Munich in September.
Carlos Tevez has since disappeared from the club’s training ground and is currently in Argentina against the conditions by the club. It has been almost certain that Carlos Tevez will be sold by Manchester City in this transfer window, but the destination has been not decided yet. A number of clubs from Italy like AC Milan and Inter Milan have been linked with the Argentine, but there has not been any concrete development on this front.
QPR recently sacked their manager Neil Warnock and replaced him with former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes. Hence, there have been a number of reports linking Carlos Tevez with QPR, and the rumours have just grown in stature in the last few hours. One of the main reasons for this is the proposed the transfer budget being allocated to Mark Hughes. There have been reports that Tony Fernandes has provided Mark Hughes with a budget of up to £ 20 million in this January transfer window.
“You never know – but it’s highly unlikely. He’s one of the most highly-paid players in the Premier League and I think his mind is to go to another country. I would like to do business as soon as possible. We’ve still got 20 days, which is a luxury. We had seven days last time,” Fernandes told 5 live. Even if Carlos Tevez does not arrive at Loftus Road, one can be sure that there will be plenty of rivals at QPR in this transfer window.
Manchester City are getting quite fed up with the chain of events circulating behind the transfer of Carlos Tevez. Both Inter and AC Milan are making lucrative approaches to try to get hold of the former captain of Manchester City, but of late, there has been no movement, and City are not happy.
Some offers on the table were canned as Manchester city do not want to sanction a short term deal on Carlos Tevez, as suggested by AC Milan. City have been adamant on the fact that they would not want their former captain to get signed on any short term deals and any club willing to show interest to sign on this star player should go in for a permanent deal which removes Carlos of any contact with Manchester City, and finally gets him out of their club.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that Carlos Tevez will not be allowed to go on loan in January. A number of clubs are reportedly interested in signing the Argentine, who has been causing a lot of troubles at Eastlands.
It is thought that Manchester City are willing to let the Argentine go for around £ 25 million, which is a fraction of the £ 40 million that they were demanding during the summer. It, however, does seem to be a little too high for the potential suitors because almost every single club are interested in taking Carlos Tevez only on a loan deal.
AC Milan are thought to be the leading club in the race for signing the Argentine, but they too are willing to take him only on a loan deal. However, they are willing to make the move permanent in the summer when Carlos Tevez will be transferred for around £ 20 million.

Carlos Tevez will not be allowed to leave Manchester City on loan as the club look to offload the want-away striker.
The Argentinean has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but financial constraints mean they are unable to buy the player outright in the January transfer window. It had been rumoured that this could lead to a compromise loan deal which would see Tevez move to Italy, but according to City manager Roberto Mancini this is not on the cards.

Roberto Mancini has said that Manchester City will not be making any moves for other strikers. City have a number of strikers in their books. Some of them are on loan – Emmanuel Adebayor, while some of them are being extremely troublesome – Carlos Tevez. Only Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, and Mario Balotelli form the cream of strikers Manchester City have at the moment. This is certainly not the squad Roberto Mancini seems to be aiming given the wealth he has at his disposal. However, the Italian has ruled out making any moves for the likes of Cavani or Lavezzi in January, although it looks extremely possible that Carlos Tevez will be leaving City in January.
It would leave Manchester City with a thin strike force. Emmanuel Adebayor also is keen to make his loan move to Tottenham permanent. Even though the wealth of options he may have at the moment seem enticing, that have been situations in the campaign so far where there has been a need for a different striker. City are thought to have been closely monitoring the situation of Cavani or Lavezzi. Hence, it has been rumoured that they will be making a mega money bid for these two players.
However, Roberto Mancini has been quick to quell the rumours by saying that Manchester City are satisfied with their current crop of strikers. He said, “We also have three or four players who can play like a second striker. I think Cavani and Lavezzi are strong players. But they play for Napoli at this moment. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future.”
Cavani and Lavezzi have been extremely good in the two matches they have played against Manchester City in the group stages of the Champions League. Napoli beat Manchester city 2-1 in the crucial group stage encounter recently.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has offered Carlos Tevez a chance at redemption, though it comes at a cost – Carlos must apologeise!
Having been suspended from action for 4 weeks, ever since he alledgedly told Mancini he would not go on against Bayern Munich, and made to train with the youth team, City are offering an olive branch. Whether Tevez will take the opportunity remains to be seen.
“Everything depends on Carlos. If he apologises to the squad and to me then everything will be as before. If he doesn’t then Tevez has a value that everyone knows and something will happen in January.
“He is totally unprepared and being badly advised. I don’t want it to be like this and I would be the first to forgive him.”
