Tevez tipped to join Ronaldo in leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid

Carlos Tevez is having to contemplate a future away from Old Trafford as the clock ticks on his loan deal at Manchester United. The Argentina striker has again been linked with a move to Real Madrid as United have yet to offer him an acceptable permanent deal. His loan deal ends on June 30 and the Barclays Premier League champions are keen to wait until the end of the season before resuming talks and renewed speculation could be seen as a tactic to force their hand. United had until the end of January to exclusively negotiate with the 25-year-old but failed to take an option to secure his future by paying an extra £22million (about £32m in total) to buy him from a group of businessmen represented by Kia Joorabchian. The player would also command huge wages in the region of £100,000 a week. Sir Alex Ferguson has said he is keen to hold on to the former West Ham favourite, who has also pledged his commitment to the club. But the impasse has alerted Real Madrid, who would like to bring him in along with Cristiano Ronaldo, according to The Times. Chelsea and Manchester City have also been linked with his signature today, as have Inter Milan and Juventus. Tevez is said to be disgruntled at being left out of the starting line-up for big matches this season and could conclude that his future lies elsewhere.
