Carlos Tevez says he will quit Manchester United while club think deal could be done
Tevez's future has become a hot topic, with United fans urging the club to keep the striker following the end of his two-year loan spell this summer.
After winning the Premier League title over the weekend, Tevez accused the club of not showing him enough respect.
I know that I am not going to continue at Manchester United,' he said. "I feel that they have lacked respect towards me. It's not about whether they pay £5 million more or £5 million less,
but I feel I have been badly treated.
'I've been here for two years and the directors have never come to speak to me. Not once have I had a meeting with them.
Therefore, it's best that I leave the club so as not to clash with [manager] Alex Ferguson and the directors. Neither do I understand why I don't play in the team.'
Remaining focused on what stand to be his final two matches in a United shirt, the 25-year-old insisted he will not hold any talks or consider any offers until after the Champions League final on May 27.
'I've asked [adviser] Kia [Joorabchian] not to speak to me about offers during the next 10 days,' he said. 'I want to concentrate only on the final matches that we have to play.
"Afterwards, I've got a month to take a decision and choose where to go."
Gill however, seems optimistic that United can strike a deal with Tevez's owners by early June.
Speaking to BBC Five Live, he confirmed that club and
representatives have met to discuss a deal worth in the region of £25 million.
'The actual situation will be cleared up in early June,' he said. 'Carlos has done very well. We'd like him to stay but the actual economic situation needs to be clarified.'
Having agreed with Kia Joorabchian that negotiations should no longer continue through the press, Gill added: 'It is an unusual situation. When we did our deal to acquire Carlos two years ago, his economic rights were owned by a company controlled by Kia Joorabchian. That's a feature of a lot of South American players.
"We have to deal with Kia Joorabchian - we paid a loan fee for two years, then there is a fixed fee we have to pay his company if we wish to take up our option to acquire Carlos, at which point we would own him 100 per cent in football terms, and any other club would deal with us.
"Whatever happens to him in the summer, that situation will be clarified. If he goes to another club in the Premier League, then that club would own him outright.'
