25th June 09 - Tevez deal will be done in the next 2 weeks
Carlos Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian has stated that a deal will be concluded very soon. The former Manchester United player still has 6 days left of his contract with the Old Trafford club and Kia believes that Carlos will have a new club shortly after. He also stated that Man City, Chelsea and one other unnamed club are in the running for Apache's signature.
Kia also commented on Carlos's refusal to sign a deal with Manchester United by saying "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.
"In two years, Ferguson 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."
16th June 09 - Manchester United confirm Tevez will leave
Man Utd reached the asking price but it was too little too late for the Argentine who felt he wasn't wanted by the red devils. Despite giving his all for United over two seasons he felt Fergie had treated him badly.
United released a statement on there website. "Following contact received from Carlos Tevez's advisors last night, in advance of the deadline the club set for concluding negotiations, Manchester United announces that Carlos will not be signing a new contract with the club.
"The club agreed to pay the option price of £25.5million and offered Carlos a five-year contract which would have made him one of its highest-paid players.
"Disappointingly however, his advisors informed the club that, despite the success he has enjoyed during one of the club's most successful periods, he does not wish to continue playing for Manchester United.
"The club would like to thank Carlos for his services over the last two seasons and wishes him good luck for the future.''
Manchester United have now lost two key players in Tevez and Ronaldo leaving Wayne Rooney and Berba-flop as United's only established attackers. Fergie will now be under even more pressure to deliver in the transfer market. Skybet now have Man City at 1/10 to sign Apache with Chelsea at 11/2.
16th June 09 - Ancelotti Phones Tevez
Carlos Ancelotti has personally phoned Carlos to try to persuade him to sign for the Blues. The new Chelsea manager has told Tevez that he would be an integral part of his plans at Stamford Bridge. Manchester City are still the favourites according to Skybet to land the Argentine at 1/2, Chelsea are now second favs at 7/2 and Manchester United are now priced at 4/1. The Arab money at City means that is the most likely destination but no European football at Eastland's next season means Chelsea are now firmly in the running.
11th June 09 - Ecuador 2-0 Argentina
Argentina's shaky form under manager Diego Maradona continued with a disappointing defeat to Ecuador. The result leaves Argentina in fourth place and by no means certain of qualifying for the World Cup finals in South Africa. Carlos Tevez missed a great chance after just 4 minutes and then missed a penalty. Ecuador took control of the game and ran out deserved winners. Brazil are the next opponents and the Argie's form will need to improve if they are to qualify.
11th June 09 - Tevez to stay if Ronaldo Leaves?
Manchester United this morning have accepted a £80 million bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo. The world record transfer is subject to the player agreeing terms which is unlikely to prove a stumbling block as the player wishes to leave the club. This move could open the door for Tevez to sign a permanent contract with Man Utd now looking like they will be cash rich very shortly. A number of news agencies have reported that Carlos had signed for United's rivals Manchester City, which is complete nonsense at this stage. Stay tuned to carlostevez.org.uk for the latest updates.
6th June 09 - Bookies taking bets on Tevez next move
Some of the bookmakers in the UK are currently accepting bets on where Carlos Tevez will end up next season. Skybet have Manchester City as the 1/2 favourites as Mark Hughes looks to rebuild his squad with Arab money. Manchester United are second favourites to keep Tevez at the club at 11/4. The red devils are still believed to want to keep Tevez but are playing hard ball over the asking price and given City have the cash United's position is becoming pretty weak. The third favourites are Man Utd's bitter rivals Liverpool at 7/1, although given there financial position it would seem unlikely they could raise £25m without selling one of there big names. The others in the running are Real Madrid 12/1, Barcelona 25/1, AC Milan 25/1 and Chelsea 33/1. The bookies clearly believe its a two horse race between the Manchester clubs.
27th May 09 - Champions League Final
What started out as a night full of promise ended in misery and defeat as Barca outclassed United in Rome.

Eto picked up the ball and managed to toe poke it pass Van der Sar to put the catalan side 1-0 up completely against the run of play. After that Barcelona settled into the match and began to move the ball better than the red devils. Cristiano Ronaldo came close with a trade mark free kick and another effort went just wide. Fergie was then forced into bringing Tevez on at the stroke of half time but Barca's superiority was still evident after the break. Lionel Messi got his teams second with a looping header into the top right hand corner. Barcelona deserved there victory but for Carlos decisions now have to be made over where his future lies.

"I don't think I will be a Manchester United player next season. I have done everything I possibly can but they have never made me an offer or given me a contract, so I have to leave. I don't think I deserve to be in this position but you realise if your time is up you have to go."
"Realistically, my time is over and I think I will be at another club next season. It's very, very difficult to stay any longer, so I have to finish this season the best I can and move on," he explained.
"The fans treat me like family, but United have not signed me so they do not respect me as a footballer."
"It's not true my family are unhappy in England. It's not true I want to leave England for Spain. My four-year-old daughter Florencia is learning English and my wife is very happy living in England," said Tevez.
"We want to stay. I want to play in England because it is the best league in the world and it suits my style.
"Any club I join, whether it be Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool or Everton, will be a rival of Manchester United. I would like to thank the United fans for their support. They will always have a special place in my heart.”

8th January 09 - Tevez Future Still Uncertain
Carlos Tevez's future at Manchester United is still in question after he spoke out against manager Alex Ferguson's comments regarding his contract offer. Tevez said "I didn't like him (Ferguson) saying I didn't like the offer I was made because neither my agent nor me were given one," the Argentina international, whose deal runs out in the summer, told Radio del Plata. "I don't know anything on my future. United know what they must pay if they want me to stay. I want to stay but the club have not made any offer. I've been waiting for them for a year and a half."
Reports are now circulating that Real Madrid, long time admirers of the little Argentine, are now about to step up there pursuit along with United's cash rich neighbours Man City. Tevez went on to say "If I have to quit the club, I want to quit on good terms.
Now all clubs are on an equal footing. If a club comes to me and offers me a five-year deal, I will accept it for peace of mind.
I will sign my last contract, and then I figure that I'll go back to Boca (Juniors.) That could be in four or five years. I want everybody to know no offer has been made. I don't like that they are playing with our fans, who show their love to me in each match."
The situation looks set to continue and with Tevez now not featuring as regularly as last season after the arrival of Berbatov, the chances of Tevez leaving at the end of his two year loan deal are now increasing.

20th October 08 - Carlos Tevez Saga
The Carlos Tevez situation at Manchester United seems to be gathering steam as the press begin to speculate on his future. Tevez who has struggled to start for Man Utd this season after the arrival of Berbatov, is in the final year of his 2 year agreement. The English and European champions have the first option to buy the Argentinean for
€37 million but that would be unrealistic if Carlos is no longer a first team regular.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been quoted as saying "I don't have to send any message to Carlos. He knows where he is and how well we have treated him. He's been a smashing player for us and I wouldn't want to lose him. I'm quite confident he will be staying". Sir Alex went on to say "There's no deadline. Originally, we were looking at the end of the season, but that's been brought forward and we have been having negotiations for some time".
With Real Madrid now sniffing around, United could be forced to act sooner rather than later but without a clearly defined role at the club will Tevez be content to stay? Will Ferguson leave out Berbatov or Rooney so Tevez can start? One thing is for sure this debate over Tevez's role at the club is far from over.
