Bring me Tevez! Ancelotti demands Chelsea splash the cash to beat Manchester City to Carlos
Carlo Ancelotti has ordered Chelsea to go all out in their bid to sign Carlos Tevez.
The Argentina striker had been expected to complete his switch to Manchester City this week.
But new Blues boss Ancelotti has told owner Roman Abramovich to raise his offer for the club-less star.
Tevez is available to buy at £25.5million after refusing to sign a long-term deal at champions Manchester United, where he spent the past two seasons.
Chelsea and City have both matched the asking price but Abramovich is unlikely to be able to offer the same astronomical wages available at Eastlands.
Mega-rich City, who have already splashed out £30m on Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry, are believed to have put a five-year deal worth £130,000 per week on the table.
Yet, Ancelotti is refusing to give up hope that Chelsea can lure the former West Ham striker to Stamford Bridge.
The Italian, who was unveiled yesterday following his move from AC Milan, has admitted he is looking to sign more players.
'I'm here to win the Champions League,' he said. 'Chelsea are a strong team, a great team, a physical team. They can be improved with some creative players. We are looking for these players.'
They have already wrapped up deals for Yuri Zhirkov, Ross Turnbull and Daniel Sturridge, while Milan forward Alexandre Pato remains in their sights.
Ancelotti has ruled out selling skipper John Terry to ambitious City, although he is expected to trim his squad ahead of the new campaign.
