Milan ready to open Tevez talks
December 06, 2011 09:23:50 UK
Italian giants AC Milan say they have been given permission to open talks with Carlos Tevez's representative over a January loan move from Manchester City.
The 27-year-old Argentina striker is out of the frame with the Premier League leaders after a falling-out with head coach Roberto Mancini and the Rossoneri are keen to offer Tevez a route back into the game.
I prefer not to speak too much about Tevez, otherwise his price will go up and this is not good.
Adriano Galliani
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani told the Gazzetta dello Sport: "Tevez is a City player. The English club has authorised us to speak to his agent, but we haven't spoken directly to City yet.
"We don't know what City want and I prefer not to speak too much about Tevez, otherwise his price will go up and this is not good."
Tevez has not featured for the Citizens since his run-in with Mancini during the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich in Germany in September, with City showing few signs of missing their former captain.
Meanwhile, Milan are keen to bring in a new striker to cover for Antonio Cassano's health problems, with the Rossoneri currently two points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.
Juve are 1.00 to go on and win the Italian title, with Milan 3.25 and Lazio 251.00.
However, Milan have been warned by Tevez's representative, Kia Joorabchian that they face competition for his client's signature.
"Milan is a great club, but there are other Italian clubs that have also requested information," Joorabchian told milannews.it.
