Exclusive: No Real deal as Tevez snubs 40million offer from Madrid

A formal offer for Carlos Tevez of £40million from Real Madrid has been rejected by the player. It proves how determined he is to stay in the Barclays Premier League. Last night, his owner Kia Joorabchian told Sportsmail: 'Carlos will decide on his future. Carlos Tevez will decide where Carlos Tevez will play.' The astonishing offer from Madrid it came direct from the cluband is not linked to the presidential elections would also haveincluded a massive financial package for the Argentina international,who scored for Manchester United at Wigan on Wednesday. Manchester United are stalling on coughing up the fee being demanded to sign Carlos Tevez by the player's advisers. How much do you think the Argentina striker is worth? Or do you feel that Sir Alex Ferguson should break the bank to bring him to Old Trafford when his current deal expires at the end of the season? Joorabchian added: 'This is not about money, it's about where Carlos wants to play and his family. To turn down the chance of progressing talks of this nature shows this.' The Champions League final against Barcelona in Rome is likely to be Tevez's Manchester United swansong. The club are eager to continue talks on signing him but agreed a contract for his price back in 2007. It is understood that United have broached the idea of lowering the fee but that has been rejected by the Tevez camp and Joorabchian refuses to enter talks on the price. United signed former West Ham striker Tevez, 25, in a £9m loan deal. The contract included clauses which stated his final transfer price would rise by £25m, a combined fee of £34m. Joorabchian, who was heading for Manchester last night, held talks with United deal-maker David Gill on Tuesday. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in Tevez.
