United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to sign the Argentine
international on a permanent deal, as he is currently on-loan from
international investors’ group Media Sports Investment.
The
former Corinthians star was strongly linked with a move to the
continent last summer before joining the Red Devils from West Ham,
having earned interest from the likes of Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Los Merengues are currently hot on the heels of United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, who
has yet to definitively commit his future to the current English and
European champions.
And now Tevez has thrown a spanner in the
works by admitting he hopes to play in La Liga, although he insisted he
is content at Old Trafford for the time being.
“Maybe one day I’ll play in the Spanish league but there’s a long way to go,” said the 24-year-old.
“At the moment I am happy here. I know many South Americans prefer to play in Italy or Spain when they move to Europe.
“But I’m happy here. It’s the best league in the world.”
1st Ronaldo, now you? JESUS CHRIST!
