Joorabchian - No Tevez offer
Carlos Tevez's representative Kia Joorabchian has told Sky Sports that Manchester United have not offered the Argentine personal terms.
The forward is at the middle of a transfer battle as United try to finalise a permanent move for him.
Tevez is owned by a third-party offshore group, rather than a football club, and he has only been on loan at Old Trafford for the last two seasons.
Now the Red Devils are keen to finalise a permanent deal, but are believed to be baulking at the near-£30million asking price.
United's reluctance to sanction an immediate deal has seen rivals clubs begin to show an interest with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City strongly linked.
However, after scoring crucial goals in the victories over City at the weekend and Wigan on Wednesday evening - which puts United on the brink of retaining their Premier League crown - Sir Alex Ferguson insisted that talks were ongoing and that Tevez had been offered terms which he was happy with.
But Joorabchian has been quick to counter Ferguson's claims, insisting that despite a meeting with United chief executive David Gill nothing had been offered to Tevez.
"We actually have not had any offer for Carlos, no offers for personal terms for Carlos," he told Sky Sports News.
"I had a chat with David Gill, we had a meeting but no offer was made to Carlos."
Deal in place
Joorabchian insisted that United already know the deal they need to do in order to make Tevez's deal permanent.
"Two years ago when the deal was made, the deal was that he was on loan for two years and Manchester United had the option to purchase," he continued.
"If they decided to purchase him they would offer him a permanent contract and the terms of the contract were fixed within the paperwork, therefore at any point in the two years they could do so within the terms agreed by United and us, as long as Carlos agreed.
"The contract that was agreed with United excludes all Bosman etc and that is clear, they are probably the biggest club in the world and I don't think they would breach any contract."
