The Carlos Tevez transfer saga is now in full swing after the striker reiterated his desire to leave Eastlands due to family reasons. Manchester City have reportedly slapped a whopping £50million price tag on their captain and most influential player, a hefty sum that will no doubt limit the amount of suiters. Tevez’s workrate and desire cannot be questioned; neither can his record for City – an impressive 53 goals in 86 games. But, the 27-year-old is a contentious player who is very difficult to manage. His child-like tantrums are disruptive to the dressing room and team morale, which the clubs chasing his signature will have to bear in mind before they shed out a ton of money for his services.

At present, it appears that Spain and Italy are the Argentines most likely destinations, with Jose Mourinho’s free-spending Real Madrid the 7/4 favourites with Paddy Power to snap up the controversial player. The Italian giants Inter Milan (4/1) and AC Milan (6/1) are also in the running, as are Chelsea with odds of 4/1, which would be a shock move, although we wouldn’t rule it out as we all know loyalty isn’t something people usually associate with Tevez.

What about a return to his homeland Argentina? At 10/1 Boca Juniors may well be worth a  punt. Tevez has stated that he wants to be closer to his family and with Boca Juniors located in Buenos Aires the place of his wife and childrens residence the move definitely looks tempting for the player. However, it is unlikely that his former club will be able to match City’s valuation and the player’s huge £200,000 plus wage demands.

Other clubs in with a chance of signing Tevez include Juventus and Barcelona who are both priced at 10/1, and also Atletico Madrid at 12/1. Tevez for a dramatic return to Championship club West Ham at 100/1 anyone?
