City to demand £50m for wantaway frontman
Sky Sports sources understand Manchester City will demand £50million from a European club for Carlos Tevez.
The Blues had been willing to sanction a £40million sale to Brazilian outfit Corinthians, with Tevez having expressed his desire to move on this summer.
However, a deal to take the Argentine striker back to South America has broken down, with Corinthians conceding defeat in their efforts to re-sign a man who is still held in high regard around the club following a successful two-year spell there between 2004 and 2006.
The Brazilian side claim the reason for their pulling out of a move is a lack of time, with their transfer window set to slam shut on Wednesday 20th July.
Terms
It appears as though they would need considerably more time in which to reach an agreement, with it understood that Tevez never got as far as thrashing out personal terms.
The fiery frontman is now expected to leave the Ethiad Stadium for another European side - one in a city where his family can feel settled.
Real Madrid are considered to be the favourites, but the likes of Inter Milan are also likely to flex their financial muscles in any bidding war.
Whoever decides to make a move will need to dig deep in order to get their man, with it claimed that City will raise their asking price to £50million when it comes to a continental rival.
