Manchester United's Carlos Tevez linked with AC Milan and Liverpool move

12 May 2009 08:16
The 25-year-old's contract expires at the end of this season and up to now the reigning European champions have done nothing to indicate they will make Tevez a permanent fixture at the club. Tevez himself recently confessed that his time at United was coming to an end - prompting a number of Europe's best clubs to take note of his availability. According to the Star, Italian giants Milan are prepared to spend £40 million on securing the Argentine's services, based on a £20m transfer fee and a £20m, four-year deal. Rumours linking Tevez with the Rossoneri were further fuelled at the weekend when his advisor Kia Joorabchian was seen in the San Siro's directors box watching Milan's match against Juventus - just hours after he was pictured at Old Trafford watching the Manchester derby. Another hypothesis concerning Tevez's future is that a move to Liverpool would suit. His comments at the weekend suggested that remaining at a Premier League club was high on his agenda in order that he causes as little disruption to his family as possible. The Sun claims that Anfield officials have already contacted Joorabchian to "register their interest", but the reports remain largely unsubstantiated. Tevez is certainly not facing a lack of options away from Old Trafford. Aside from the aforementioned clubs he has also been linked with Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Tottenham and Everton. Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, Tevez's team-mates have heaped praise on him of late. Following his sensational strike against Manchester City at the weekend - which gave United the cushion they required - Patrice Evra said: "Carlos is a world-class player and he showed his quality again. "Carlito is a good professional. But when he plays he respects the shirt of United." In the hope that something will be done to resolve matters, Evra added: "Carlos works his socks off. He scored a great goal and he is a very popular player in the dressing room. "The rest is up to the people upstairs."
