da 888： Brazilian side Corinthians have denied rumours they are preparing a summer bid for Manchester City star Carlos Tevez.
da jogodeouro： The former Manchester United and West Ham forward has scored 72 goals in 139 appearances for City since his arrival in 2009, helping them lift the Premier League and the FA Cup.
However, he has also endured some turbulent moments in a blue shirt, most notably when he spent six months in limbo after a bust-up with boss Roberto Mancini during a Champions League game at Bayern Munich.
Tevez has also been vocal in the past over his struggles to settle in England and his desire to move closer to Argentina, sparking rumours of a move to a host of top South American clubs.
Despite those reports City officials revealed in March that they would like to extend Tevez’s contract, which has 18 months to run.
World Club Cup champions Corinthians, where Tevez enjoyed a two-year spell earlier in his career, emerged this week as a possible destination for the 29-year-old, with a summer bid mooted.
When quizzed on the rumours the club’s director of football, Edu Gaspar, says they are not planning on buying Tevez – or any striker for that matter – any time soon.
“At this moment we have no interest in Tevez, we’ll sign players for the positions we need,” he told Terra. “We don’t seek a player because he is or might become important. If we need a player and we see that is someone who we need, we go after him. We will fight to sign him.”
