Manchester United are rapidly reaching a point of no return when it comes to securing the services of Carlos Tevez, a man who is apparently in negotiations with Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in England, as well as, according to Sky Sports, two unnamed clubs from Spain and Italy.
A report in the Manchester Evening News indicates that United have almost lost patience with the player, who
has apparently not responded positively to personal telephone calls
from United boss Sir Alex Ferguson asking him to reconsider his
decision to leave.
Tevez feels that he has been treated shabbily
by United, in a season when he spent much of his time frustrated on the
bench, but the club are now seemingly annoyed that the complex transfer
saga is dragging on with no apparent end in sight.
The Red
Devils were hoping that Tevez would decide his future within days of
his season ending after Argentina's international with Bolivia, but his
'owners' MSI and the player have allowed the process to continue
uncertainly for too long, according to the Evening News, and United are almost ready to wash their hands of the player.
United
are reportedly willing to pay the £25.5 million demanded by MSI for the
player, and have offered very generous personal terms, to no avail.
Their
local rivals Manchester City were reported as having offered the player
a 75% increase on his Old Trafford salary, with a reported £140,000 a
week after tax on the table.
