City leading chase for Tevez
Soccer Betting Lines
06/25/2009 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kia Joorabchian claims Manchester City is Carlos Tevez's likely destination with a deal expected to be confirmed within the next 10 days.
Joorabchian, who is Tevez's advisor and controls the economic rights of the Argentina striker, has revealed that City, Chelsea and a third mystery club have all tabled offers to sign him.
The 25-year-old has sparked a transfer scramble after revealing last weekend that he was to leave Manchester United after turning down a five-year contract.
"Right now we are evaluating the proposals from Manchester City, Chelsea and one other team," said Joorabchain.
"City is a club with most of the chances because they are building a big squad, but it is not a decisive point.
"The contract with United officially runs to until June 31 and we'll respect that. After July 1 we'll see. We may be defined in 10 days."
Meanwhile, Joorabchian has reiterated his previous claim that Tevez turned down United's offer to make his two-year loan stay into a permanent transfer as he didn't feel wanted at Old Trafford.
"Carlitos has never asked United for money, he has never complained about his contract. It is not a problem regarding money, but we never talked about that in two years," he added.
"In two years, (United boss Sir Alex) Fergurson always said we were going to sit down to negotiate but we never did so.
"He sent an offer but it was too late because they had not offered anything in two years."
