Real cheek! Madrid tried to lure Tevez from United as they courted Ronaldo
Carlos Tevez rejected overtures from Real Madrid this summer because he was happy to commit his future to Manchester United. Tevez will sign a four-year contract with United at some point over the next couple of months now talks over his ownership have been concluded.
The Red Devils have agreed a £32million fee with Tevez's owners, who are no longer MSI, for the Argentina forward. 'Carlos Tevez's economic rights are owned by a third party, based offshore but this is not MSI," confirmed Tevez's long-time advisor Kia Joorabchian.
Tevez's initial arrival at Old Trafford was dragged out almost until the start of last season as the Premier League satisfied themselves over a loan deal for the striker, even though it was almost identical to the one which saw Javier Mascherano leave West Ham for Liverpool.
But the 24-year-old created a hugely favourable impression at United, leaving Sir Alex Ferguson in no doubt he wanted to sign the player permanently. Now that move is almost complete, although not without some interest from elsewhere.
While there has been no comment from Tevez's advisor Kia Joorabchian or United, it is believed two clubs approached the South American, one of whom was Real Madrid.
Given Real have spent most of the summer attempting to lure Cristiano Ronaldo away from Old Trafford, keeping Tevez has been well received at United, offering them a chance to show to the Portugal winger they intend keeping all their star players as they look to retain the Premier League and Champions League trophies. -
Please, take Ronaldo not Tevez!
