Carlos Tevez is highly unlikely to move to Paris St-Germain from Manchester City after his adviser Kia Joorabchian spent the day meeting Leonardo, the director of football, and other PSG executives in France. Internazionale and Milan may now re-enter the market to sign the Argentinian forward.
Joorabchian's talks with PSG were the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides and it is understood that the probable breaking point in the deal is that PSG's vision of how they wish to move forward differs from how Tevez wants to progress his career, rather than any financial differences.
The Milan clubs retain an interest in Tevez despite appearing to drop out of the bidding to sign him. Until last week Inter and Milan appeared to be the favourites to land the 27-year-old, with Massimo Moratti, the Inter president, offering City around £21m for Tevez, whose career has stalled since he refused to warm up for a Champions League group game at Bayern Munich in late September. That bid fell short of City's valuation, which is thought to be closer to £25m, though this could drop as the transfer window nears closing at the end of the month.
City and Tevez have only 10 days to resolve the situation, with Roberto Mancini, the manager, confirming that there is no way back for the player at Eastlands. "This is impossible. Carlos doesn't want to stay. It is important for him to start to play because he is a football player. It is now three months that he hasn't played and this is not good for him. I hope this will finish very quickly. I don't know [the latest]. I hope for him everything can finish very quickly."
Beyond the Milan clubs, Tottenham Hotspur's manager, Harry Redknap, is an admirer of the forward. But he has stated that Tevez's £200,000 a-week salary is unviable for Spurs, saying: "He is a special player, the type of player who could make the difference, but I wouldn't think that's a real possibility." It is also likely that City would be reluctant to consider selling Tevez to one of their main title rivals.
